Hi Roberto, I'm not sure I understand the implications of removing the current OCR app. Does it mean that from 2.7 onwards, Mayan won't have any OCR capabilities at all anymore? What are the implications of the zone OCR app being separate? Will it still be available freely for anyone who wants to add it or will it be paid, closed source leaving the community without any OCR?
