Do you have any patches, work in progress, thoughts or ideas? =) I'm
keen on any feedback and review. I will ping you when I'm happy enough
with the packages, such that somebody who knows OpenERP can test them.

true. Plus 6.1 was meant to be released in autumn and it's been
delayed for the second time now. I wonder if it will be released only
in the second half of 2012.

It's still developed, It's still faster than web client. It offers
better keyboard-only navigation. Some of our users prefer it over the
web client. So yeah YMMV from person to person, and generally people
are going for the web UI. But it's nice to have gtk client to package:
ssh port forward + local client and that's all you need to connect to
an OpenERP instance. webclient on virtual domains & firewalls are more
trickier to get to sometimes.

Overall gtk client overall still has it's use cases.

That would be wonderful.

Can I merge your ITPs into mine?

Ps. packging available from python apps svn. Still work in progress though.

Dmitrijs.
