I know the history, I'm around since the tinyerp days :)

I understand about the groups and delegations, if you have those resources, it's all good - but for the moment i'm alone for my country and I'm following all of the modules (oca and odoo), and when you don't have the possibilty to delegate, fragmentation makes it harder, not easier, to manage all, but as I told, I understand your reasons and knowing the reasons was all I was asking for.

Space or bandwidth are not an issue for me, time is, so try to understand my reasons too :)

+1 for ecommerce for the move - that way they're being moved in an existing repo and not creating a new one and also: it's kind of logical to put them there, since ecommerce is their purpose at the first place.

Matjaz,

Once upon a time, there was only one repository for all community modules: extra-addons.

The repository was more than 1Gb of space. It was a mess to download, to update, to manage and nobody really felt responsible to manage it.

By having ~100 repositories today, we give the opportunity for people to take in charge a smaller more-manageable part of the project. It is now easier to delegate to a group of people interested by the subject of a repo.

Technically, having one repo also means one level of quality/test coverage and today, we have projects with different level of maturity converging and improving at a different pace.

My few pros.

What advantage does it give fragmenting the repositories so much? OCA repos are already way too fragmented for a server maintainer and while finding a module could seem easier in a less populated repo, we open another issue - finding the right repo. To do a simple update of the modules we have to navigate between exaggerated number of folders to perform repeatedly a simple git pull just to have all the repos updated. How is it simpler to manage that way?

Example: for a simple service company I would need at least: account-invoicing, hr, hr-timesheet, knowledge, management-system, partner-contact, project-service, sale-workflow, server-tools, web and website.

What's the point of this fragmentation? Finding a module? Crtl+F does the job by name in a single repo, grep -r does it by content... So why? X repos means X git pulls just to keep in sync (or git fetch+git rebase+git pull+git push for the forks)... to not even mention the translation teams nightmare that fragmented repositories represent - Transifex translation memory is not shared between projects and OCA will have (between 6.1, 7.0, 8.0 and in the close future 9) hundred of them by this pace.

I don't want to criticize, I just want to understand why (i started with the cons, give me the pros please).
