When I was admin we used to have a stable branch on subversion which contained the previous release plus any bug fixes that had come up since then, but none of the new features that had been added. I have tried to persuade someone to take on managing a stable branch but enthusiasm is low.

I agree on that approach. Bug Fixes can be (and should be) addressed apart from Feature additions/deletions/updates.
From what I have seen so far this is a very good product and I think it is a bit of a shame current and potential future users can not easily retrieve a latest "fixed" version. Imagine the initial impression when a tester implements webERP and it immediately fails on something as simple as a list? It will be immediately discarded and that is just a shame.
Unfortunately users don't remember how great 99% of the product is; they remember that 1% that threw them into the ditch and this is a good example.
My applications are not perfect as every Use-Case and every permutation of code path can not be identified therefore can not be tested. However, when an issue does arise it is addressed IMMEDIATELY and a new version is released, often within a few hours.
Again, I must close by adding this is OSS and there is often a small price to be paid since there is no other price being paid (apart from time). We use MANY OSS solutions and have been very happy. I hope webERP ends up in our OSS bucket.
