#2Icons!
As a designer, I've probably never seen so many icons on a page.
Re: Odoo: The new OpenERP
#3By the way, the core and base modules (and in theory, all community modules, since they're derived works) of Odoo are Free Software (APGL) and available on Github: https://github.com/odoo/odoo
Disclaimer: I work for a company that implements solutions based on Odoo for small and large companies. So yeah, it's possible to make a living working on FOSS, if anyone still doubted it :)
Re: Odoo: The new OpenERP
#4I've considered working with OpenERP and looking at becoming a consultant in it (ERP is $$$ and very useful), but last I checked the OpenERP site (2? years ago?), the demo site was half broken. Glad to see it's gotten a refresh and a genuinely web 2.0 name. ;)
Apparently the devs have churned it into a SaaS offering, which is also very cool.

#5OpenERP could've really benefited from some usability expertise, and if this site is any indication, Odoo may suffer the same fate. If you're going to put this much time/money into a new brand, how could you miss so badly?
In my experience with OpenERP, the end users always took a back seat to the developers. Granted, ERP software is inherently complicated, but with each new version you could tell they made an attempt at a simplified interface and never hit the mark.

#6What are the alternatives to OpenERP today ? (I mean, free and open sources ones, with acceptable UI)

they still use their custom-own-built orm ?

Even the paid ones have horrible UIs. In fact i've never been lucky enough to see an MRP / MRP2 / ERP system with a usable UI :-(
Pointers to nice ones greatly appreciated since it's useful knowledge...

I installed OpenERP some days ago, just to see what it had become. I found it nice. Even though I think you would still need to be really documented on how to use the different modules.

>if this site is any indication, Odoo may suffer the same fate.
If it weren't for the "formerly OpenERP" next to the new name, I wouldn't even know what the product was supposed to be. Looks like an app store of some sort for tablets.
Spare a sentence or two of explanation, please? Maybe delete one of those rows of giant icons if space is tight.
