Currently OFBiz has four different workspaces, a public wiki and some online in application help.

  • OFBTECH - OFBiz Technical Documentation
  • OFBENDUSER - OFBiz End User Documentation
  • OFBADMIN - OFBiz Project Administration
  • OFBREQDES - OFBiz Requirements and Designs
  • OFBiz Public Wiki
  • OFBiz documentation from old spaces
  • In application online contextual help using DocBook (might move this task into the OFBiz Applications workstream!)

Our objective is to migrate all Confluence documentation from Techncial, End User and Requirements and Designs spaces into the Wiki. Only the Wiki and Project Administration space will remain separate.
