Well I did a commercial Payroll system in my career...I know accounting,
inventory management, and just about everything in between, I've dont a lot
of industry specific application development.  and I'm thinking of doign an
OpenSource project :-)....that message on the group made me realize how much
it was lacking, but I agree, we need to replace such things as MYOB
Accounting or atleast have an equivalent of.  We need business management
software, stats and probabilities, trend analysis, financial advisory tools,
and everything else that can be used in a business.  so I'm game.  Also done
a Point of Sale commercial application which integrated accounting behind
the scene.

He is right, as much as we do need the people who are updating the kernel,
coming up with server apps, programming languages sure that's all good.  But
I think we equally need business quality solutions.  and that does
lack....think about it, a lot of databases are available for Linux, but what
applications make very good use of these databases?  if not by us, by
someone else, but that field does need to get covered.  In my book :-)...
