I don't know if this is even possible but before I dive into what I would like to explain why(Read next para if you want to read what):
A large number of engineers today at least in India are writing the same CRUD applications again and again. I can't believe we haven't reach a level of abstraction where people who needs these app are able to design themselves. This would save tonne of man hours. I have seen so many companies implementing the same employee management, payroll systems, sometimes their own internal social networks. Heck, some are implementing their own email clients because the companies who are selling email services charge a lot. If only we had open source alternatives to these system as that of the grade of Linux kernel, a large number of engineers can start working on more pressing issues.
So I would like to build open source alternative to the systems like employee management, payroll management, student management, hospital management, email services, hotel management,etc. Anyone who wants variations in their system can tweak it making small code changes. Ultimately hoping to reach a level of abstraction where we won't need engineers to code every small business case.
