The bzr delay without a Launchpad login I found to be obnoxious. It was not very intuitive to import the ssh key, but the help documentation was useful. I could not make heads or tails of all the branches, and nothing stood out as this being the one you want to use when I trying to find the extra plugins. In fact only because someone was gracious enough to give me a branch name, and then help me with the trial and error effort to using it allowed me to install a chart of account. For production use I would prefer not having to deal with anything but "release builds" that is exported and available outside the version control system (i.e. http://openerp.com/downloads.html). This was after reviewing all the documentation. > 2.2. Is it clear and easy on how to contribute ? I have no idea. The defects that hit was reported to forum and ignored, mailing list has been very responsive, and I have filed defects for the issues that I hit. > 2.3. Did you read the new community Guide ?

Those, btw, are partially obscured in 800px wide resolution. As a new user the open object branding makes no sense. I have not read the Community Guide as I am not sure where to find it. > 2.5.

What should be improved ? technical guide, user doc ? The documentation should be versioned (this applies to 5.0.2 and later etc), and it should be updated to reflect the how the system currently work. The project appears to have quality issues. Key modules did not install (chart of accounts of us), or corrupt my database on install (account cfir or something, the module that adds some fields to satisfy international accounting standards). The next version of the openerp server package broke the login. My impression, unfortunately, is that using OpenERP for our company's accounting is a very risky proposition. There is nothing else out there, so we will probably accept that risk, however it means the project as a whole may see the user base disappear if more reliably options appears on the horizon. It freaks me out that a ton of software is installed in /usr, and I have no idea if I can uninstall everything or if my system is forever tainted. This issue goes away for me as soon as OpenERP is available as a Debian package, but that will take a year or more. /Allan -- Allan Wind Life Integrity, LLC http://lifeintegrity.com _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman/listinfo/tinyerp-users
