I participated in the shared funding of the NetRPC development for TinyERP, which worked out great in my opinion. Now, I've contributed towards the Tryton production module as well. In my limited experience, shared funding works well. People contribute their time or money towards development, and the project gets completed based upon the availability of finite resources. <snip> > I think that the Tryton foundation has to be independent from B2CK and > the other service providers, and so it should the Tryton website.

I agree the foundation should be separate from the commercial interests of B2CK. I'm sure the B2CK guys understand this and accept it. However, integration of the elveos shared funding projects is less than "ad" than an "offer". Take it or leave it! If someone wants to write the production for free, they are welcome to! And if the code quality is up to the standards of the community, I'm sure the community will accept and integrate it into Tryton. I would maybe agree that the elveos bits should be on a different page, as is already the case with the list of Tryton solution providers. This (the inclusion of the Elveos widget) seems like something that the membership of the foundation might vote upon. It could similarly be removed from the page based upon a vote of the membership, if someone shows good reason why it has actually been harmful to the community.
