This looks in first sentence a good idea, but it isn't! Why? All different projects have their own routes forward and somewhere in time you will lose integration/connection. For such a critical business application as OpenERP is, you can't afford such situations. Also difficult time arise to your support contracts! Yes, most businesses want a support contract for critical applications, as they can't relay on the community for their business. They require service level agreements! If ERP is not working, there business stops working right away. Thus as editor you want to control every line of code. B.t.w. there are some tools integrated in openerp from other projects that are not business critical in the sense of ERP functionality, like reporting en the python platform itself, like integration with email, officetools, etc. So for e.g. a webbrowser or a tool, you are right, but for an ERP, it will not work. And then is nothing said yet about the different technologies used by the different projects. Just my 2 cents. ------------------------ Jan www.veritos.nl -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=33956#33956 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman/listinfo/tinyerp-users
