R&D Strategy Antony Lesuisse

R&D Strategy• 3 main types of developments – New features • Added value for customers – Usability • No added value • Helps new users – Core improvement • No visible value for customer • Long-term productivity

R&D Strategy Community/Partners Publisher• New features • New features – Paid by customers – Only if useful for mass• Usability • Usability – Training cheaper than UI improvements – Publishers role• Core improvements • Core improvements – Specific development when needed – Major refactoring• Examples: • Examples: – Improvement to 1 YAML test – YAML tests for all modules – Bugfixes – Global refactoring – Medical – new Web client – Country-specific payroll – Generic Payroll

Projects (part 2)• Projects – Communication and sharing tools: portal, … – Usability – Core improvement: emails, import openerp – Third-party integration – Payroll – Point of Sale

Portal Module• (Re)-introduced in trunk / v6.1• Easier setup via share module• Maintains settings for a group of users: – Access rights and filters – Dedicated menus – Homepage widgets• Example: – New Partner Portal (more on this on Friday!)

Next, in communication tools...• Email notifications for business flows• One-click sharing of single documents• Replacing “internal requests” with emails• ...

UsabilityFabien Pinckaers

Core improvements Olivier Dony

Email subsystem: unification• Before: mix and match of email features: – Core framework (tools.email_send) – Mail Gateway module (e.g. crm history) – Email template (marketing campaign) – Etc..• Interoperability problem: different models• No consistency

Email subsystem: unification• After: – One single model for each concept (mail, server...) – Layered architecture, each feature at the right level

“import openerp”• Promised last year• Now available in trunk:• More cleanup coming
