Hello everyone,

We are glad to announce that the new OpenERP Apps platform has finally been 
launched today on http://apps.openerp.com

It now fully replaces the former "v6apps" version, and you can proceed to 
register your v7.0 modules immediately. Most previously registered repositories 
and branches have been imported and are still available.

What's new in OpenERP Apps 7.0?
Front-end integration on OpenERP.com: all community modules can now be found 
directly from the OpenERP homepage.
Integration with OpenERP 7.0: the new Apps platform has been integrated in 
OpenERP 7.0 since the release (via Settings/Apps), but it was limited to 
official modules so far. Now all community modules registered for the current 
series are available as well (after un-checking the "Featured" search filter).
One-click installation: when you install an App in OpenERP 7.0, all 
dependencies are automatically downloaded and installed as needed, including 
community modules.
Prettier descriptions: registered modules can now have a full HTML description 
on the website1 in addition to to the plain text one (example: CRM).
More features are coming soon, this is only the first iteration: better 
front-end and navigation, improved searching & sorting, comments, etc.

Technically, a few things are noteworthy:
When logged into the Apps back-end using your OpenERP.com account you can now 
view your repositories and apps, and check their status.
The automatic verification of registered repositories and modules includes 
additional checks: all dependencies must now be registered and available for 
the corresponding series, otherwise the module will be skipped during scanning 
until fixed (as it would not be automatically installable)
All repositories imported from the old Apps platform are currently without 
owner, so each owner will be contacted to associate them to a valid OpenERP.com 
account2.
Module uniqueness: in order to avoid ambiguous dependencies, the pair 
module-series must be unique across all repositories (e.g. only one repository 
can own the 'crm' module for 7.0, so other 'crm' modules in other repositories 
will be skipped). The priority is normally on a "first-come, first-served" 
basis, but exceptional cases can be settled by sending an email to 
a...@openerp.com.

For any question or feedback, please reply to the list or send an email to 
a...@openerp.com.
Thanks!

1: It must be located in /static/description/index.html, and can use other 
static images. To get started quickly we recommend to reuse the same styles and 
layout as found in the official descriptions, such as CRM.
2: Repository owners will receive a message on the email they used to register 
their apps, and will need to send the OpenERP.com login they wish to associate 
with their repositories (e.g. the same account you use on OpenERP Help or the 
OpenERP.com portal)
