Month-end presentations from the ERPNext team about what's going on at our office and in development of ERPNext.

1. Open Day
January 2014!
Rushabh Mehta

2. Rebranding
webnotes
frappe.io

3. Why?
• No Domain Available
webnotes.com
webnotes.org
webnotes.net
webnotes.co
webnotes.io
•
Frappe was the internal name for the platform and
domain frappe.io was available
wnframework
frappe.io

4. Why?
•
Version 4 required a unifying theme and name for
a platform that was beyond ERP (and ERPNext).
•
Frappe will be the platform (wnframework) on
which ERPNext and its apps and extensions will
be built and released.
ERPNext Apps
frappe.io

5. ERPNext
•
ERPNext will become an app on frappe.io
•
The websites erpnext.com and erpnext.org will
become frappe.io/erpnext
•
Some modules will be extracted out of ERPNext,
like Shopping Cart, Projects, HR, Newsletter etc as
apps
erpnext.org
frappe.io/erpnext

6. Content
•
Currently content is distributed in:
Forums
ERPNext Manual
ERPNext.com
Support Tickets
•
All this will move inside the Frappe Community
Portal frappe.io
User/Dev Forum
frappe.io/erpnext/forum

7. Code
•
wnframework will be renamed to frappe in version 4
•
Organization webnotes will be renamed to frappe
•
Inside code, we will keep webnotes for a while,
then search replace by frappe.
•
Command-line will be frappe
webnotes/wnframework
frappe/frappe

8. User Manuals
•
Each App will have its own manual.
•
Manual will be multi-lingual
•
Frappe.io Community Portal will have features to
build the manual
erpnext.org/user-guide
frappe.io/erpnext/help

9. License
•
Open Source of course!
•
We are suggesting AGPL to protect ERPNext
usage on the cloud.
•
wnframework, oops.. frappe, will be MIT (this
leaves some opening for paid apps, but later)
GNU GPL!
GNU AGPL

10. Cloud Hosting
•
All Cloud Hosting will be moved to
frappecloud.com
•
Frappe Cloud will be a separate site from frappe.io

41. pushState
•
HTML5 pushState API allows you to manipulate the
browser’s history
•
This can be used to load web pages using ajax
•
There are a lot of common areas in a web page like
the navbar, footer, etc.
•
When browsing from one page to another, use ajax
to get the difference and not the full html

42. pushState
New Browser
Window
erpnext.com
click on signup
erpnext.com/signup
without
pushState
Download full html

second
