Title: 8.0 prototype

Module Prototype
==============

This module allows the administrator to prototype new features and export them as module.
Functional people can prepare the job for a developer who is left with the logic to implement
in addition to everything the prototype does not export yet.
See README.rst for more information.

Version 0.1
=========

All the features are not implemented but the minimal is done.
With this version you can:
* The set up of __openerp__.py is covered, description, maintainer, website, name, technical name...
* Views and menus can be set through odoo and gathered in prototype. The files will be automatically generated and add to the data section of the __openerp__.py. Be aware some advanced feature as domain or context might still missing.
* Dependencies can be set throught the Dependency page
* Custom fields can be added. A file by model will be generated with all the fields of the model. The __init__.py files are updated accordingly. Be aware that some features are not implemented yet, as the domain, the context.

**This version should be enought for:**
* set up the client module
* create a new field in a view.

**Features that you might expect in next version:**
* better generation of fields (many2many fields, domain, context)
* Generation of data and demo data files.
* Security files (rules, ir.model.access.csv)
* __openerp__'s description editing README.rst and index.html
* module screenshots

Known bugs
---------------
* icon file extension might be wrong. The extension is hard coded for now. It is planned add Document as dependency to handle it.

Hope it helps,
