Lively discussion on LinkedIN - including OCA App Store 

Hi Odooers,


Since a couple of days there is a lively discussion on LinkedIn.
It started by confusion about the Odoo Accounting, Enterprise and Community apps.

It didn't stop at these apps.

I read all the replies and thought, after reading several fights, and the discussions which one is better, the Enterprise accounting app vs the Community Accounting apps, Enterprise vs Community Edition, Odoo Apps Store vs OCA Apps store. I thought, this needs to stop and proposed to start an Odoo App Naming Convention asap to minimize the confusion.

Anyhow, if you like to participate and join the conversation, or like to read a good written and live discussion, click the link below.

    I think it's a non discussion really - the fact that some indian companies bring out apps called "community accounting" (which by the way are not open source, but thats another topic entirely) is already against the rules of Odoo App Store, since it says that no app may compete with the Enterprise offering, so probably not even OCA.

    Unless Odoo really starts focusing on improving the app store, enforcing branding and naming rules, building in a review system etc this is just how life is - an informed consultant will know to pick the OCA version, but newcomers will be confused and have to find out the hard way.

    Hi,
    on "an Odoo app naming convention" for me the easiest way would be to name any app as "OCA nice app name" and if possible the module as "oca_app_tech_name".
    Extending it to actual apps can be a bit tricky, especially for the module name, but in the long run it will be clear to everyone, especially non-experts, where the apps come from.
