Speaking about the POS,
in case some of you think Twitter is just for kidding and missed the news,
here is a very complete overview of the technical part of it (hey
functionally a POS isn't that complex anyway)
http://thierry-godin.developpez.com/openerp/tutorial-module-creation-pos-modification-english-version/

BTW, here in Brazil our biggest need would be more about packaging this web
app into a standalone desktop application (like dead Mozilla Prism
technology) so that it could eventually be binary certified and signed as
required by law. A huge amount of work anyway...

So +1 if there is some project.

In case not everything could be done with extension modules, me and other
people already set up git mirrors of bzr branches. Unlike with bzr, with
git you have something that works that is called "git-subtree" that can
allow to extract an OpenERP module seamlessly from its mother branch, while
still easily getting upstream updates and proposing merges to upstream [1].
That could be used to get a git branch (eventually mirrored again to LP
automatically as we do for Brazilian l10n_br [2] for the LP die hard) to
create an improved version of the POS or some other module. Then just
prepend the module in your addon-path before the regular addons and you are
done. There are already teh OCB branches, but today the OCB branches limit
to bugfix and if there start having improved derivatives branches, I'm not
sure this is manageable altogether unless this is done on a per-module
basis.
