Hi Joël,

first of all, I am very sympathetic towards a single modular and 
featureful project for OpenERP banking integration and I am pleasantly 
surprized by your bold suggestion of bundling your initiative and the 
Banking Addons. Thanks!

One practical problem does bother me. If the current Launchpad series 
within the project would be renamed with a 'banking-addons-' prefix, 
this would break compatibility with existing installations. For this 
reason I would strongly prefer to keep the current series, but I see no 
problem introducing such convention from 7.0 on. Introducing an 
additional bank-statement-addons-6.1 series next to the existing series 
should not be a problem either.

Another issue is the license of the Banking Addons, which is GPL. We 
need permission from the original author Pieter Kersten to relicense as 
AGPL in order to allow a merge with the Bank Statement addons.

Can we give the other members of the banking addons mailing list a 
couple of days to react to your suggestion of having a 
bank-statement-addons-6.1 series on the project and the intention to 
merge both projects?

Cheers,
Stefan.
