Open Source Warehouse Management System / News: Recent posts

Hope is not lost! Due to situations beyond my control, I have been MIA for a long time. I am working with an associate who will be able to re-start this project, and, if all goes as planned, he'll be here soon! Thanks for waiting.

There will be a live chat with John Ribar, the picoWMS project manager, sponsored by the About.com Logistics area. Chat is 2:30pm Eastern Time (US) - on Dec 10th. Visit for more details: http://logistics.about.com/library/blmpchatoswms.htm

The specs are coming online slowly but surely in the next few days and weeks. Visit the spec site at http://picowms.org/spec - if you don't see what you want today, come back soon for more!

The second rev of the Request for Comments has been released.

In order to get things moving in a better manner, I have submitted RFC-01, a Request for your Comments, based on the design I have in mind. This is available in the Documentation area, and should also show up in the Files area. Let me know if you have problems, and I'll email it to you. It is a Text file. Let me know if you would prefer (allow) Adobe file (PDF) as an alternative, for adding drawings, etc.

Thanks for your help. This is something that is missing in the real-world, and I think it will be a great help for those of us that live and work there.... read more
