Dear all,
Hello Jean-Michel,
For transparency reasons, I am thinking of switching from OpenERP to Tryton. I am getting bored that OpenERP trying to close important bugs and trying to hide those bugs to the community. What do you think of my bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-addons/+bug/1081560 http://www.openerp.com/forum/post117189.html#p117189
I am not knowledgeable enough in the Tryton multi-currency implementation to be of any help without reading the code.
But still it is hiding this bug to the community. What do you think? Do you think there is a chance for OpenERP to be more transparent.
Back in the beginning of OpenERP there was not even a code repository accessible to the community so they are getting better ;) But what are the chances that OpenERP SA get more transparent, I have no idea, it's a decision that only the OpenERP company can make. The Tryton project is organized differently, it started as a fork of OpenERP by B2CK with the goal of being a community driven project. To further enforce this the Tryton Foundation has been created a month ago (http://foundation.tryton.org/). Let me quote a part of the website: The Tryton Foundation: * aims to develop and support conferences, meetings and community activities, * holds and administers the tryton.org infrastructure * organizes the community of supporters, * manages and promotes the Tryton trademark The board is not managed by only one company, there is 7 different people representing 5 companies and 3 continents.
We have very good accounting knowledge, but with OpenERP closing all our acccounting bugs, this becomes impossible to collaborate. Do you act differently at Tryton and do you recognize bugs? This would be a big point for us migrating to Tryton.
Bugs are filled in on http://bugs.tryton.org/ and they are not hidden from anyone (except security bugs which must obviously be handled in a private way). But of course, filling bug does not mean that they will not be marked as invalid because, either they are not relevant or do not match they way the software has been designed. You also have to acknowledge the fact that the bugs in the Tryton bugtracker are to be managed by the community, it means that you might never get a reply (it's very unlikely though). The best way to have the insurance that your problems will be taken care of by Tryton specialists is to ask the help from people selling Tryton service (http://www.tryton.org/fr/services.html). I hope this reply will help you having a clearer view of the differences between OpenERP and Tryton. -- Nicolas Évrard B2CK SPRL rue de Rotterdam, 4 4000 Liège Belgium Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 E-mail/Jabber: [email protected] Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
