Odoo Addons (MOVED TO GITHUB)

Including new fields on Modules

Registered by Ana Juaristi Olalde

I think there is modules on extra-addons that have been built because a customer has financed the development. Even if most of development have been made by tiny or partners, there is a lot of modules on extra addons made and published by independent people who's names appairs as developpers of the module. That's Great!!!

But I think it should be also great and necesary mentioning and making publicity to final customer who paid to tiny, partners and developpers to build the module so they are contributing on growing up OpenERP. Of course, this should be always made with agreement of customer to menction his name.
I propose including this fields on modules:
 .- Name of mentor
 .- Industry / Sector
 .- Web Page

Another little problem is knowing the origin of the module. This is, I would like knowing if it comes from addons, commiters extra-addons (with versión of extra-addons) or community extra-addons.

So I propose also including a field were the origin could be shown.

Whiteboard

Please don't forget the distributed nature of Open Source. We learned it the hard way with the Magento - OpenERP connector first sponsored by Smile who then didn't care even maintaining it that was killing the motivation of other parties in improving it because their effort would have been shadowed.
So I'm in favor of such things, but I think, this should be like one2many fields or many2many, as you like, well it should be easy to mention several sponsors later one.
Take the new Magento OpenERP connector, it has been sponsored almost equally by Akretion and Openlabs after close collaboration planning, how do we reflect that in the module fields?

It has to be kept simple I think, so maybe we just need a big "contributor" text field, to be shown in a separate tab.
