Simone, thank you for sharing your POV, I see that we are more or less aligned on the point of making our own solution, it's useful to have enforcements/confirmation about this topic from different people, I appreciated the hint about EDI, I will take a loot at it : )

In community you will never find good and well supported connector. This is community, nobody will respond to you for free for bugfixing. You need to fix and contribute yourself. It is very rare case that people will fix your reported bugs. And it is more based on enthusiasm of individual person in case he has free time / desire / good mood :) 

I disagree with this. At least on the message that carries... but we might have just a "translation" problem, so please take this as a way to help improving this conversation  ;)
We have plenty of people - me included - that fix bugs for free or that help (w/ reviews, tests, comments, etc).
Moreover the "fix and contribute yourself" does not mean that you shouldn't do it in the OCA. (at least partially) ;)
And yeah, that might not be so "common" but I think it comes most of the time from "fear", "shyness" or the feeling that you've just expressed here ;)

About this point, I think I got both point from Oleg and Simone ; ) We probably all agree that when people work for the money in the context of a company that is supposed to provide a service, it's almost automatic that they will be (or at least do their best to be) as responsive and efficient as they can. 

BUT that doesn't exclude the fact that sometimes community can be even more responsive and efficient, but you might have to deal with a lot of variables. 

I think the fact Oleg wants to point out is that when you rely on community you "have to be lucky", while if you rely on a professional company you can litterally claim to have the assistance you need. On the other hand this still doesn't always mean that official assistance is always better than the community service, I think we're just talking about two very different approach that somehow lead in the same way and they have both pro and cons. Very interesting point to discuss : )

Sorry for the late answer, I was not in Milan unfortunately, I hope I can go to Odoo days next year !

Ciao Francesco,

Here's my POV:

1. your scope sounds too small to use connector-magento (that should be migrated, etc) or any other "existing" connector
2. this does not mean that you cannot create a connector. The connector module proposes a pattern to handle inbound/outbound sync. That's it. I won't exclude this idea a priori.
3. you mention "receiving and processing XML files and sending out some other files": sounds more like an EDI exchange than a connector -> I encourage you to have a look at the EDI framework.

I'm going to the Odoo Italia days in Milan: if you come, we can have a chat ;)

Finally, a few words for Oleg regarding

So yes, in your case it is better to develop your own script that you will understand yourself and will support it yourself 
I know this 100% as we are developing Connectors to e-commerce systems and we know how much time it takes to support them, constantly develop, fix bugs, respond in reasonable time.
I see your point but there's always the other side of the medal: go always fully this way and you'll always be by yourself. Fully. Forever :)
