Re: proposal to discuss forking of OpenERP GTK client

 

Me too.

I'm looking easy way of webclient custom pages development such as point of
sales touch screen.

I found some simple documentations.
http://doc.openerp.com/trunk/developers/web/addons/
http://planet.domsense.com/docs/openerp-web/en/addons.html

But I want more example source codes and toturials for understanding hot to
develop module for webclient.

Is there any existing custom modules, branches on launchpad?
