Dear Community,

We recently talked about joining our efforts to develop new OpenERP modules. For that purpose, we decided to create on Launchpad new projects sorted by topic with new teams to manage them.

The goals are:
To get rid of the big extra-addons branch
To join efforts on the same topic in order to avoid too many modules for a same feature
To become more aware of the developments that have been done by others
To start working with merge proposal between us
To improve the quality of our code

Camptocamp took time to create missing projects and their respective teams on Launchpad. When possible, we tried to reuse the existing ones. All listed projects provide a short description of the kind of modules you can find/merge into.

We do welcome you on board to join our efforts ! In order to add your own modules in the appropriate project, we suggest “merge proposals”. Depending on the volume, we might need some time at the beginning to review everything. We therefore want to thank you all in advance for your patience during this transition period. In some of these projects, we still need to push a branch on the existing series since we still need to extract our work.

For all of these projects, the rules we expect you to adhere to and respect are:

No company-related prefix or suffix in the module names (like c2c-account-something);
Always make merge proposal for any bugfix or improvement so that everyone can take note of it and eventually ask for a different approach;
Nobody merge his/her own work into the branch. Another member of the team must do it. Exceptions may be accepted if the merge proposal has been strongly approved by the rest of the team;
If your module doesn’t fit into any of the available projects, or you found no related team, please post a request on the framework expert mailing list so that we can create an specific one for you (openerp-expert-framework@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx);
When at least one of your modules has been approved in the branch, you may ask to be part of the team. If you are not part of the team, you can still contribute to the project through merge proposal;
Use the available teams according to their topics (it means that you always need to attribute a new project to these teams, so to avoid having hundreds of them). The existing ones are:

Should you have any suggestions related to the above rules, please feel free to post them on the framework expert mailing list.

Note that there is still missing documentation in the official OpenERP doc on all of the following branches: https://code.launchpad.net/openobject-doc
Should anyone want to take time to add this information, it would be greatly appreciated as I’m running out of time to organize and manage this transition...

Hope you’ll enjoy !

The list of the official community projects/topics can be found under this project group: https://launchpad.net/openobject.
Some of them are waiting on their owner to bring some modifications so they can fit into other projects (changing team, series,...). Should you be one of these owners, please inform us when ready. They may refuse to open them to the community as well, in that case, we’ll create another project.
