2010-06-18 14:52 <Fandekasp> hi
2010-06-18 14:56 <Fandekasp> I'm a student, learning about ERP systems. I've looked quickly about tryton and openerp, as I like python programming, and I wonder what should I use ... Are you enjoying tryton ? What are its disadvantages according to you ? Thank you for your answer :)
2010-06-18 15:02 <bechamel> Fandekasp: hi, for disadvantages vs openerp I don't see any, but maybe I'm not 100% objective :)
2010-06-18 15:03 <bechamel> anyway, the biggest problem of tryton atm is the documentation
2010-06-18 15:03 <Fandekasp> oh ok, so it's not easy to learn tryton, bechamel
2010-06-18 15:04 <Fandekasp> How can tryton be as good as openerp when there are three times fewer developers ?
2010-06-18 15:05 <bechamel> maybe because there are no correlation between the number of dev and the quality of the code
2010-06-18 15:05 <Fandekasp> 6 times fewer sorry, according to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Tryton_and_Open_ERP
2010-06-18 15:06 <bechamel> and also because the dev effort of oerp is spilled across hundreds of modules without consistency
2010-06-18 15:06 <Fandekasp> yes, you're right, but we can expect more results from 245 developers than from 40 ^^'
2010-06-18 15:06 <Fandekasp> ok
2010-06-18 15:07 <bechamel> Fandekasp: fyi http://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/cfycv/has_anyone_here_used_openerp_are_your_experiences/
2010-06-18 15:08 <Fandekasp> lol it seems 100% objective too :P
2010-06-18 15:08 <cedk> Fandekasp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month
2010-06-18 15:09 <Fandekasp> ok Thank you guys :)
2010-06-18 15:10 <cedk> Fandekasp: but the only real proof is read the code of both, run it and you will see
2010-06-18 15:11 <Fandekasp> yes of course, I'll do this later

2010-06-18 21:09 <cedk> paepke: I have seen any option to show result before vote
2010-06-18 21:11 <paepke> cedk, you mean "haven't"?
2010-06-18 21:12 <paepke> cedk, imho its a bad poll system about it. but i'm not sure that google moderator is the right system for polls.
2010-06-18 21:15 <paepke> cedk, when you see how the others vote before you vote you get influenced by it.
2010-06-18 21:19 <paepke> cedk, a question about something similar: have you already heard about http://uservoice.com/ ? maybe there is an opensource pendant to it.
2010-06-18 21:22 <dba> also, the google poll requires a google account, and,
2010-06-18 21:22 <dba> it doesn't allow to make comments.
2010-06-18 21:23 <dba> e.g. i find both unique emails and realnames important, however,
2010-06-18 21:23 <dba> i wouldn't want to enforce it. e.g. for debian-live, there's a contributor that is doing a privacy related downstream distribution,

2010-06-18 21:24 <dba> and he's not giving anything away but is nickname (and his $nickname@$domain.tld)
2010-06-18 21:24 <dba> which is perfectly fine. i wouldn't want to miss his contributions over bikesheding about realnames or not.
2010-06-18 21:24 <dba> (ymmv)
2010-06-18 21:29 <paepke> cedk, nevertheless a good idea about that polls.
2010-06-18 21:32 <dba> i like polls too
2010-06-18 21:58 <udono> hi, I like polls, too.
2010-06-18 22:01 <udono> But for my experience most questions in real-life can not answered with yes or no.
2010-06-18 22:10 <cedk> dba: google account like for the mailing list
2010-06-18 22:10 <cedk> dba: it is required to prevent vote spaming
2010-06-18 22:10 <cedk> udono: you can send an anwser in moderator
2010-06-18 22:11 <cedk> dba: how are you sure about copryrights?
2010-06-18 22:12 <cedk> dba: as far as I know per example Linux ask to sign the patches
2010-06-18 22:12 <cedk> dba: it is to prevent copyright and licence issues
2010-06-18 22:14 <dba> cedk: for debian-live, everyone who's contributing is transfering all copyrights (!= authorship) to me anyway.
2010-06-18 22:14 <dba> for the documentation and translation, it's transfered to the debian-live project as a whole.
2010-06-18 22:16 <dba> copyright has nothing to do with the person having a realname or just a pseudonym.
2010-06-18 22:16 <dba> contributions to the kernel are for that matter a different issue, since they're actively working in a patent-encoumbered field.
2010-06-18 22:17 <dba> (which i guess is the real reason their requesting signed commits)

2010-06-18 22:21 <cedk> dba: we don't want to have people cede their copyright
2010-06-18 22:21 <cedk> dba: I don't think it is linked to patent or at least not only that
2010-06-18 22:22 <cedk> dba: the main issue is to identify the author of each line of code
2010-06-18 22:22 <cedk> dba: to be able later to deal with licence change etc.
2010-06-18 22:22 <dba> cedk: when you have differnet people holding copyright,
2010-06-18 22:23 <dba> in reality, there's always at least one that is holding back (willingly or unwillingly)
2010-06-18 22:23 <dba> so from my point of view, i don't even consider to be able to change a license once there are more than one copyright holder, ever.
2010-06-18 22:24 <dba> (which is why for all non-documentation stuff in debian-live, we'll transfer copyright to me, so that i could change the license if needed).
2010-06-18 22:25 <dba> about 'identify' the author, as said, this has from a legal point of view nothing to do with the person having a realname or a pseudonym only.
2010-06-18 22:26 <Mithrandir> I think it's a feature not being able to change the licence.
2010-06-18 22:29 <dba> .oO(i don't, see gpl3.)
