Great to know about the foundation,

Does it mandatory to be a part of this foundation to commit on this repository ? What the purpose of it ?
Issue usage is not what we can say something that seem to work as I can see, quite a few about coding style just ignored, to discuss and make sure everybody involved in the development of this software should talk and be agree about what should be done to make it better.
As it's seem you are the main maintainer of this repository, you should engage a way to make us be a part of it, like already said it's seems that there is quite a few people who would like to contribute in a way that it's actually impossible, so all card are in your hand now.

About 1 issue per point which point ? it's all about coding style to let the ability for people to contribute.

Yes, foundation is live. There is a meeting every month as you can see on the link on page that links to all meetings report:
https://wiki.dolibarr.org/index.php/Category:Foundation

For exchange about coding rules, the current preferred tools is github issues, like any other discussion around the code or features. So thread are public and available to everybody and it is easier to comment, mention, notify, etc than mailing list.
But this works only if we keep 1 issue per point. This is VERY important, chances to have things fixed when there is too many things in same discussion are very low (if issue has too many different point, the issue may be close to avoid chaotic discussions)

How does coders works actually ? I see that it's eldy who make most of the commit history (I suppose the most of the codebase too).
I see quite often message about people who are open to help/contribute, that a good sign, does there is a platform/way to speak about it in live ? Like a slack group, which will be more appropriate in this case because there is a need to discuss a lot about what next will be.

Organization (https://wiki.dolibarr.org/index.php/Statuts_de_l%27association) is still alive ? The last board meeting seem to be from 2013 ?

Thank you Mickaël for sharing your thoughts with us.

I do not know if you have already done it but you should propose your ideas by creating issues and pull requests on github.

And by the way, do not hesitate to be gentle with those who are carrying this great project on their shoulders for years ;-) even if new ideas are always welcome, you should communicate in a more consensual way i think...

Best regards

Christophe

Hi maintainers,

Are you openminded to change the way you work on this projet ? There is a lot of improvement that can be made, the simplest to begin with is commit, I ask 3 or 4 times already if it's possible to use commit as it should be, but nothing change ?

About commit, it's really a pain to find something and follow upgrade in this context, stop the races version which is absolutely not right, the v1.0.0 it still not available because not all functionally that was suppose to work (base on which is in the wiki, and what is in master version do not do).

Like this commit : 
Why did you put all the garbage of .less/.svg which is not use as I can see in the code, only the compiled css + compiled font is used (like 10 files at max).

Here a simple list :

1. Commit != CTRL+S
2. Commit message should be clear about what it fix/update
3. Stop merge commit on all this versioning ecosystem which not usefull at all
4. Everytime a file is edit, CLEAN IT remove all tabs => space
5. Everytime a function is edit use variable with proper names, not test, thing, object, blabla...
6. Rename table name, all in english, rename inconsistency field example : (facture->facnumber, facture_fourn->ref)
7. Stop any other new development before everything which is available really work, like accountancy
8. It's not possible to refactor (less work to redo everything), but keep old code style clean as much as possible will be a start.
9. I actually manage teamworkers on development projects, and like I said often, let MySQL do the work for you as much as possible, so when you do query like for VAT functions, do the simple math directly in MySQL, all the code of MySQL is reviewed/controlled and each fonction is optimised as much as possible, you will never (or in rare case) bit them on that task, so do it in SQL cleaner/faster :).
10. Avoid sql slit like in accountancy $sql .= .= .= .= use sprintf, or add a function to make format like : https://stackoverflow.com/a/17372566/1891179
11. Avoid multi copy of the same code
12. Wrong usage of jdate( it should be link to sql result object not db object, which make it a pain to use, because of the need to make db instance follow dataset.
13. etc...

Thanks for reading,
Best regards,

Hi Mickel, great good points from my point of view. At least on the translate all to english would really be good to see.
Step by step we can come to some of those issues be solved. I am ready to help with. But at the end on an OSS software
project with a lot of people working on it its really difficult to make sure everybody proposes with the same rules his code.
