Examples of modules include additional reports, additional windows, connectors, and content packs (translations, chart of accounts, list of tax codes, product categories, etc). For more information on creating modules, please see the Developer's Guide. Modules are installed from the Module Management window within Openbravo itself. Projects to deliver Openbravo modules are hosted on the Openbravo Forge. To find a project, search the Project Directory.
