To complete Olivier's email;

I think that having a strong Apps plateform similar to Android 
Marketplace and Apple Apps Store (but open source, of course) is very 
important for OpenERP.

This is great for end-users:
  - one-click installation of any community module
  - clean description page of community and official modules
  - a good plateform to rate best modules, sort by install count, ...

It can also be great for contributors:
  - better promote your own modules
  - better promote authors of modules (clean webpage and branding)

I think it's important to have a plateform to easily rate (downloads, 
votes, comments, ...) best modules. On the old apps plateform, it was 
too complex to find best modules, evaluate and install them (due to 
dependencies).


So, don't forget to:
  - register your launchpad branches for v7 modules
  - improve the description of your modules following the new HTML style

In a few weeks, we will communicate on the best community modules to 
promote them and make them become the reference for future needs in 
their scope.



Thanks,
