## Projects Temporarily Rejected
 

	
 
These projects have been rejected temporarily (i.e., evaluation is on hold)
 
because of some issue that seems unresolvable at the moment, but may be
 
resolved at a later date and will remove the blocker of looking more closely
 
at the project.
 

	
 
* [[ExistingProjects/BeansBooks]]
 
  * [Not free software](https://beansbooks.com/home/opensource)
 
  * The developers have been reached, not yet replied.
 
* [[ExistingProjects/OpenPetra]]
 
  * The linux client has not been a focus of the OpenPetra developers, and as of 2013-11-25 and the client setup found in <http://www.pokorra.de/2013/11/install-openpetra-on-linux/> it crashes intermittently for various reasons.
 
* [[ApacheOFBiz]]
 
  * Contacted
 
  * As a user: Due to OFBiz's apparent lack of documentation, e.g. <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/12.2.6+Reports>, the evaluation has been discontinued.
 
* [[ExistingProjects/Kuali]]
 
  * Contacted
 
  * As a developer: Discontinued due to the opacity of the Kuali organization.
 
* [[ExistingProjects/Bookyt]]
 
  * Contacted
 
     * Replied to my inquiriy about help with evaluating Bookyt but has not contributed any evaluations so far.
 
  * As a user: The project seems to be in an early state, if anyone would like to spin it up and try it you're welcome.
 
* [[ExistingProjects/ADempiere]]
 
  * As a user: ADempiere is hard to get clear information about, the resources that are available are hard to navigate.

## Projects Rejected
 

	
 
These projects have been evaluated as part of this effort and rejected, both
 
for a basis of this project or for any code reuse.  A few of the primary
 
reasons are given on this page, but the whole evaluation can be read on the
 
linked page.
 

	
 
* [[ExistingProjects/Frontaccounting#final-eval]]
 
  * Straight PHP with no framework
 
  * Data model somewhat messy, accounting not clearly separated.
 
  * Only one or two developers.
 
  * Workflow not easily configured.
 
* [[ExistingProjects/webERP]]: <http://www.weberp.org/> NOTE: [[Frontaccounting|ExistingProjects/Frontaccounting]] is a fork of webERP.
 
  * A brief look at the source code seems to indicate that webERP suffers from the same issues as Frontaccounting.
 
* [[ExistingProjects/GNUEnterprise]] 
 
> GNU Enterprise is not a Finance/ERP/Accounting software (yet). While the original project goal was to create exactly that, the maintainers at that time decided that as a first step, good development tools for database centered applications should be created. The focus of development then was strongly on these tools, and while they are to a certain extent usable to actually create database applications, further development in the project has come to a halt because most (all) developers shifted their energy to other projects.

* [[ExistingProjects/Garradin]]
 
  * Entirely in french, would need l10n, i18n and might not be suitable for US or international use. *Disclaimer: I cannot read french, these are assumptions.*
