Hi Markus,

Firstly, I merged the merge proposal. Some people including me have the
commit rights, but are not actively following the Launchpad activity
since we moved all the other things to GitHub. So do not hesitate to
send a note as you did here. I wanted to add you in the team on
Launchpad but it appears that I am not an administrator of the team so I
can't; Raphaël Valyi if ever you read this, could you add me as admin
please?

Concerning the PHP module, some considerations:

 * The existing module is crap according to some Magento developers who
I believe willingly
 * The original authors are generally hostile to the odoo's world
(reminds the sorry openerp campaign)
 * We would need their agreement to move the code in the OCA's repositories

Based on that, either we keep the old module, but outside of the OCA,
either we rewrite it. I just spoke 2 days ago with a customer who is
willing to rewrite it properly (that's why we created the repo on
GitHub), I will keep you posted.
