Hi all,

yeah, sorry for the lack of feedback recently. actually we went very busy with 
that connector, and it's not our only project at the moment.

Basically:
1) Packaging a Magento module was harder than we thought so we lost a few days 
discovering how that works (they really should make it simpler to get more 
feedback).

2) Magento 1.1.1 has just been released with a new webservice (XML/RPC and 
SOAP) API. At the same, time, we discovered after tests on a other PC that the 
xmlrpc.inc XML/RPC lib used by our connector and the other OpenERP esale 
connectors are really crappy and made for PHP4, not PHP5 (while compatible). 
That can generate a whole range of bugs when the PHP engine starts mixing 
deprecation warning and XML/RPC responses... That's actually what seems to 
drive a lot of people crazy here with the existing OScommerce or Joomla 
bridges...

So overall we decided to rewrite the Magento XML/RPC part to use the new 
Magento XML/RPC native infrastructure. So we favored this over immediate 
documentation and we are feeling sorry about that but thin that's the best 
trade off.

The current module released here:
http://code.google.com/p/magento-openerp-smile-synchro/
actually already works while using the crappy XML/RPC PHP library.
So if you are some hard core, you can always try it and infer how it works from 
our work in progress doc commited in the Google Code hosting wiki. Also bare in 
minde that even if we are changing the webservice lib, the overall way things 
work won't change soon as it seems correct already (but your feedback will be 
highly appreciated).

In any case we are coming with a better solution and better tutorials at the 
beginning of the next week. We also have better screen casts to upload to some 
decent screencast server (Youtube wasn't).

Hope you'll enjoy it. That new Magento webservice API seems really powerful and 
the potential of that association sounds really promising.

Best regards, keep in touch.

Raphaël Valyi.
