Normally the old v6apps links are still working, and properly redirect to the 
new URLs. That was an important step in the deployment of the new platform.
For example, if I search for "openerp banking module" on Google the first hit 
is this:
   https://apps.openerp.com/addon/7395
and this properly redirects me to the new URL for this module + version:
   https://apps.openerp.com/apps/6.1/account_banking/

The download links are working as well.

Now it is possible that a few old Apps could not be imported in the new 
platform, for example if the repository was no longer valid (but then the old 
links were broken/misleading).

Could you be more specific with an example of a previously working link you 
find in Google that does not redirect correctly to the new platform?

We'll investigate and update the mapping system if needed.

There is really no need for that as the new platform was launched already 
populated with the existing content, and the old links redirected.

Concerning the front-end it's just a first iteration as was announced, we'll 
update it in the coming days to display more technical information. It was 
preferred to release asap something that allows registration of 7.0 modules... 
please bear with us while we're working on it.
