We are now able to retrieves the orders with associated order lines and all. The very next step is to insert them in OpenERP much like the Virtuemart or OSCommerce bridge.
One should also be aware that this isn't that complex to write such a Magento bridge, it's just that we can't afford throwing too much resources at it. So we are progressing faster each day so we are confident in publishing a good prototype within 3 weeks, be it on Google Code or Sourceforge (I'm sorry but we don't think the TinyForge is a good solution). By the way, we see lots of code improvements to be made on the joomla/virtuemart existing bridge. We didn't spent time investigating about the functional improvements to be made like synchronizing the sale order status (so one can track them on virtuemart), but we see how to improve the code. Basically the virtuemart bridge seems to have been developed first without using the goodness of object inheritance of OpenERP (mainly in order to add an additionall id column to OpenERP objects so we know their reference in the e-business software). So the code is a mix between the old inelegant datamodel and the new clean model extension. So a lot of code can actually be cleaned up. While we don't really want to use OSCommerce anymore, we suspect the same cleaning can be made in the OSCommerce bridge. I think we will talk to our friends from Axelor so they can clean the code and publish a new version if they can. Cleaning that code will help third parties hacking their own solution and contribute functional improvements. Finally such bridge aren't that complex to write and the system is quite generic, it would work much the same to connect SurgarCRM or any other software. OpenERP is gonna skyrocket!
