I've voted for develop from scratch because we can do much better than the 
alternatives. Koo already provides all User Interface features needed and one 
can easily show any view in full screen mode (see koopos.py) and modify its 
appearance using stylesheets. Even a virtual keyboard is provided [1].

It also supports using a barcode reader attached to the serial port (and of 
course any barcode with keyboard emulation).

The only things missing would be credit card support, which is also pretty 
simple to implement (at least the methods implemented in OpenBravoPOS as I took 
a look at them some time ago).

The rest of views could be implemented using OpenERP making it very powerful 
and flexible (not everybody needs the same for a POS). Also we have a proof of 
concept for a form view being shown in an SVG image which could lead to custom 
and appealing desings of dinning rooms, for example.
