I can't believe I'm the only one working like this!!! There should be more

Raphaël is totally different managing a project or AFTER passing the start-up, 
customer decide to make some programming/adapting module to make easier they 
operative. As you say you built a very concrete and concise module for El Sr 
del mar: Stock in 2 measure units, but the 98% of functionality needed was 
filled by standar modules, spanish localization and another few extra modules. 
El sr del mar was working by now when you made the module. Logiscenter needed 
prod_lot_autosplit and publicated last version had a bug. Your team built the 
module so I thought you were the best to repare it. Again. rest of 
functionality used is taken just from publicated on stable branch. And Yes... 
when I need an extra functionality to my customers i have to contract a 
programmer and pay for it. My customer agreed with this. But I always try to 
investigate just publicated modules before contracting programmers and 80% of 
times is possible to find something that fit customers needs. Thank you all 
guys publicating on extra-addons.

I understand nothing about this paragraphe. I NEVER and say again NEVER said 
that you can integrate OpenERP in 5 days. The most quick project I made is 1-2 
month long even if it's a very little company. I just gtalk to you to offer a 
work or asking some punctual easy doubts for 4 or 5 times. I asked to you about 
migration, not because I was "totally lost" but because the origin system was 
an old dinosaur ERP and I just offered to you the posibility of making a 
quotation. After that I offered the work on launchpad. 
My operative is, if there is a bug I report on launchpad. If customer has got a 
technical support contrat, I send it to company who is supporting my customer 
and after reparing we always publish patch. So easy like that. If a final 
customer wants jumping into OpenERP, first have to learn about openERP and 
contract technical support. He does not need programming.

Why you get ungry with me? I use only spanish localization modules. It fits 99% 
of spanish customer needs. It's good made. We try don't migrating old fiscal  
data but mantaining them on old system for consulting. I customer want's to pay 
migration... it depends on origin data the cost of it so he must agree with 
price.

I don't know in other countries. In spain localization project is very mature. 
Thanks to everyone who colaborate on it. 

OK, we all agree on this; this doesn't scale at all. And that's one of the 
reason the community recently have an argument with Tiny because they were 
giving no direction tho the community:

Thanks God we agree on something!!!
