A Module Market-like application for Tryton and OpenERP, inspired in OpenERP Apps (http://apps.openerp.com), the Wordpress Plugin Directory (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins) and Django Packages (http://www.djangopackages.com). It also take some inspiration from Launchpad (series, branches, karma... and the Debian Packages organization (repositories, mantainer figure...).
It's not the project of a site. It's an application that you can deploy to create your own Modules Directory.
This project is to develop a web application that allows users to explore the modules available for different versions of OpenERP and Tryton.
The system complements the metadata files tryton__.py __ and __ openerp__.py with extra data generated by itself, complemented by the module mantainer or generated by users themselves from social tools. This extra information, as well as enriching the information module, generates new ways to explore the modules (by popularity, compatibility ...) and aims to further (make visible) the authors for their work.
The system supports branches (different versions of the same code) for server and modules. A branch is associated with Version Control System (VCS), project management system (github, bitbucket...), it has releases files (.egg, .zip, ...) and/or documentation URL.
Users can add compatibility information between modules and server branches and between branches of a module and its dependencies.
The system makes it easy to get (to deploy) the whole code of server and modules (all of them or a selection), selecting branches prioritizing different criteria: official, recommended, maximum, compatibility, popularity...
To operate the system and exploit all the features, in addition to the web interface the system will offer an API and command line client.
