1. 2026 Goals
   • 2026 Goals Summary: iDempiere Brainstorming
   • Key proposals to drive community growth and project maturity:
     • Marketing Boost: Develop case studies/blogs on AI/LLM-powered extensibility (psql/Groovy/dynamic roles) for dream-level customizations, positioning iDempiere as forward-thinking vs. proprietary ERPs.
     • Contributors: Grow active GitHub contributors (e.g., activate more people like Zuhri) via targeted outreach and core incentives.
     • Content: Publish regular blog posts/case studies on innovations.
     • Engagement: Host virtual sessions, tutorials, community days for stronger collaboration and team building.
     • Docs: Complete Docusaurus migration for developer documentation (nearly done).
     • AI Tools: Build bot agents for quick guidance (e.g., "What to do here?" → instruction summaries + links); promote "ask AI" over manual report tweaks.
