Also nice how they use Google Translate?? I know it's a shortcut to having a
multi lingual site (cuts down on development and translation costs?) And I
haven't mentioned the CSS errors yet... (IE8)

Come on... If you're going to be seriously psyched you need to address these
little things first, no doubt they will.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!

This is some serious cool!  No joke, I am actually pretty psyched about
this.  While obviously PHP isn't my cup of tea, I am very interested in
the concept of a full-featured ERP system.  Their MRP system has just
about every feature I could envision, from Kanban to batch balancing.  I
didn't see a lot on co-prouct by-product, but they have recipes and I
suspect the functionality is there.

I'd be very interested to see it in action on a full-blown implementation!

Unfortunately open source doesn't mean free, so I wasn't able to look at
the code.  But if nothing else, they are very ambitious.  This might be
the first real example I've seen of a PHP-based enterprise application. 
I'd have to understand the architecture better, but it looks pretty
impressive.
