KwaMoja now has a plugin architecture for third party addons

This was first published on sourceforge on 04/05/2013

I have just pulled the plugin architecture branch of +KwaMoja  into the main develop branch. This means that +KwaMoja  now has the facility to use third party plugins for specific tasks.

These plugins can be open source, or they can be proprietary, and sold by the developers.

The +KwaMoja  project will run a service of approving plugins to ensure that they are not going to damage your system. This will be free of charge for GPL plugins, abut there will be an admin fee for commercial plugins. Plugins that have not been approved can still be installed, they will just carry a warning.
To test out this code, and begin writing your plugins you can download the code from here: https://github.com/KwaMoja/KwaMoja/archive/develop.zip and there is a demo plugin that has been written and can be downloaded from here: http://www.kwamoja.com/demo_plugin.zip

Further information and tutorials to follow shortly.

Victory for truth, common decency, and common sense

+Phil Daintree has finally been forced to take down his hate page that he had put up on the domain name he hijacked from ourselves at kwamoja.org.

This shows that no matter who you think you are, you must still abide by the law. Posting lies about other people on the web is just wrong, and unacceptable.
I would like to suggest that as a way to start making up for his sins +Phil Daintree  puts a redirect on kwamoja.org to our site at kwamoja.com.

This would seem to be the very least that he should do.

Much kudos should go to the host ipage-inc.com for their help in sorting out this problem.

KwaMoja demo attacked

This was first published on sourceforge on 06/02/2013

In the early hours of 6/2/2013 my time (GMT +3) someone with an in depth knowledge of KwaMoja/webERP decided to spend several hours trying to cripple the +KwaMoja demo at http://www.kwamoja.com/demo

This demo was deliberately given system administrator privileges so that people could test for themselves the full functionality of +KwaMoja . However in the light of this sabotage we have had to remove some of the security functionality from the demo.

We would like to apologise for this, however it is best that the demo can be kept working, with slightly reduced functionality, rather than it constantly be damaged by whoever perpetrated this mindless act.

I hope you will all understand.

Future now in our hands

We are delighted to announce that we have now been able to purchase the kwamoja.com domain name from +Tim Schofield, and so we are all set to progress with the project.

Feels good!

To release or not to release that is the question.

This was first posted on Sourceforge on 27/11/2012

We are now in a position where we have some stable code that could be released. Most of the known bugs in webERP have been fixed in our code. Should we release a version now?
What are the arguments against?
If we release now there will be little differentiation between us and webERP.
Our infrastructure is not yet ready, no web site, wiki, forum, bug tracker etc. So far we haven't raised the money for a domain name.
What are the arguments for?
A release will start to get us noticed, hopefully generating more developers, and more help.
It will get some momentum in the project.
Users will be able to take advantage of the bug fixes we have already done.
