When you look for an open-source ERP, you instantly get hits for Compiere and its derivatives (ADempiere, OpenBravo), then of course OpenERP. More comprehensive articles will mention Tryton as an OpenERP fork, and don't really go further than that. Take a look at this page for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ERP_software_packages Tryton is at the end (alphabetic order :( ), and the only information available is that it started as an OpenERP fork, which is probably not the most important thing about it. One improvement idea would be to write case studies and/or introductory articles in high-profile open-source magazines. For example Jonathan Corbet of LWN.net fame is looking for a new accounting/ERP package for their operations. He already wrote a number of articles as part of the "accounting quest" series: http://lwn.net/Articles/496158/ http://lwn.net/Articles/501681/ http://lwn.net/Articles/516659/ If you could get him to cover Tryton (and even better: get a positive review from him :) ), I think you would see an instant increase in the interest for the project.

I also saw, that there are already apps in development, building on Tryton and Nereid, like nereid_project which could be used instead of, or in parallel to the generic ERP web client for project management.
