I'll give my 5cents on this topic. I'm a previous user of compiere (since 2002...) and my company had worked for years on compiere and created a number of modules for it (HR, translations etc...) but since hte breakup and the creation of adempiere... I tried migrating towards that (only briefly) but since then spent a couple of years dealing with things other than ERP (Sharepoint, etc...), and in ht epast few months am moving back to the "open source erp" world.
what I've found is that openerp has made by far the most progress when compared to openbravo/adempiere, erp5 seems dead. openerp5 is such a leap, and the new web based interface and the openobjects development tools... are nothing short of amazing (to be honest sap ecc6 can learn a lot from you guys!). Also the launchpad "bazaar" -> which i think tiny emulated the bazar style of adempiere has been tremendously successful in getting more participation compared to previous iterations (tinyerp 4 etc...). I must say the documentation has been massively improved too... and, most importantly the ability to create new modules has been simplified for mere mortals like me (my previous attraction to the compiere world was the simple Application Dictionary). Overall I must congratulate and thank the team at tiny and all the other contributors for the amazing effort they've made so far! yes... this is one post, where I'm not complaining or asking for more features :D If I am honest, one key point that's still not perfect with tiny is the advertising.... now, the new website and the openerp.tv are both excellent both in terms of the idea and in practice... however, make a google search for open source erp, or openerp 5 and you get very few reviews of openerp 5. Why? openerp5 should push to get reviewed by all the major enterprise app journals... and more importantly in some professional journals which are aimed at end-users in industries (not IT folk). just my idea... also. one to many sync of multiple offline POS to main warehouse... this is an essential function for almost every customer i've spken to! + raphael Valyi's serial number management tool needs to be in the core distribution. my 5cents. thanks guys for the great product. and let me know how i can help in any (limited) way i can. -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=34641#34641 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman/listinfo/tinyerp-users
