All issues and basic requirements will solved giving us a webinar, training
on site (belgium of course) and write a *really well documented project*.
Now we loss time reading, testing, reading (cycle) code it is wasted time,
business can't do this.
If a good technical documentation is shared, everything will be different.
Technology used in 7.0 like xml template system (qweb), is not documented,
JS code is not documented and reading the code JS in one modules has an
architecture in other, another.
Trunk is great and has so many good features named by Fabien before, but
OpenERP SA needs to accept: OpenERP framework is so baad documented.
Check this presentation
http://es.slideshare.net/openobject/openerp-61-web-framework-tutorial
I want an OpenERP tutorial not JS tutorial from 30 to 63 slides are about
JS, we need to learn and know about framework architecture not JS, HTML,
python, developers already know it !.
Partners and community must put resources but w/o sharing what will happen
in next months or what are planned to change i prefer keep in latest
version and dont put at risk my customer in migration.
At this time i dont know how migration works, we got a customer with 4GB PG
DB, upload this ? i dont think so.
About functionalities, IMO that is basic to replace GTK but in this moment
there is more problems,
what about version and dependencies management for modules ?, we can freeze
an installation for localizations ?
what about testing ? we can test JS ? problems dont just comes from
computing data, in OpenERP are in UI problems, buttons, links, actions,
menus (Yes, i know menus are testable now ).
OpenERP is a visionary project but is time to be a LEADER in ERP world not
just OSS, OpenERP already did it.
Start to test and report is the only thing what we must do and wait for
OpenERP SA efforts to launch 7.0.
