It is really bad attitude. You must see Tryton as a tool and not as a product. When the open source project becomes a product, it starts to die. You can see this process with the release of OpenERP v7. It became a product which is pretty easy to setup for non technical user. That means many companies were founded which are not doing any development, but only selling it. It is hard for real dev company to compete with such re-sellers. So if there are no dev companies who will develop this "product"? For OpenERP, the partnership program works, but as i understand, Tryton is in the difference way. I hope, Tryton will be even more developer focused project. It must be a tool, framework which makes the business application building process fast and cheap. Also taking the maintanance process in account. At first glance, it may look that OpenERP is easy to install and configure. But try to implement more complex process or do maintainance and you will see all the "benefits" of being product :) p.s. this is my personal view. Tryton's one can differ. -- Giedrius
