I think that this is always a dilemma for Open Source, because you see the activity beneath the surface as well as the software itself. Companies that produce proprietary code have all this happen just the same, but customers rarely see it, and prospective customers never see it. This is one of the main advantages for proprietary software (the other is that much of licence money goes straight into marketing and sales). hugojpinto wrote: > ...In order to use OpenERP effectively, we'd have to both revise the > translation as well as to introduce a complete portuguese chart of accounts. > ... Is it possible that Portuguese partners will do this, or share the work or something? hugojpinto wrote: > ...should we go 4.2.x, or should we bet immediatly on 5.x?... In my opinion you should now be looking towards 5.x (without having huge experience of it yet), but you may prefer the current stability of 4.2.x. hugojpinto wrote: > ...We bought the ebook, which we found useful, but still nowhere nearby a > complete implementation-ready guide, so we're relying on our own ability to > explore and the help of the community. ... That's exactly the right attitude to be having and I think you'll yet quite a bit of help from these forums. There will be books for OpenERP 5, but maybe not quite in the timescales you need. ------------------------ Regards, Geoff Seath Solutions Ltd (http://www.seathsolutions.com) -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openerp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=26449#26449 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman/listinfo/tinyerp-users
