To be displayed correctly on odoo app (In a given category and not only in all or hidden)
the module category in the __openerp__.py file should be one of these:
"Accounting",
"Discuss",
"Document Management",
"eCommerce",
"Human Resources",
"Industries",
"Localization",
"Manufacturing",
"Marketing",
"Point of Sale",
"Productivity",
"Project",
"Purchases",
"Sales",
"Warehouse",
"Website",
"Extra Tools",
'Accounting & Finance' will not work, as 'Project Management', ...
How great is it to get Odoo (almost) 9.0 (almost) translated?
Clean .tx/config file
Regenerate .pot files
Fetch current translations from Transifex (10% completion)
Now that most refactoring has been merged
It is better to have red a great work of another culture in translation than never to have read it at all.

This commit add instant messaging features in mail module to make it a real team collaboration tool. Lots of these new features will replace Timeleine view (which is not removed in this commit). Many files have been moved, split or created for a better structure.
- My Channels : A user can be member of channel (mail.channel). These are discussion group, but also an aggregate of notification. Setting a channel as document follower, it will receive all the message (of the chatter) in real time, as information stream.
- A new Inbox : this aims to replace the timeline view. The user will see its channels grouped by 'slot', and receive the message in real time. Jump to the form view, invite people, create private discussion group, talk directly to another employee, ... are the main features. Your message can still be starred. The 'Inbox' will only contain your needaction.
- Needaction concept : a needaction is a message calling you to do something. If you follow a document as a person, the posted message will be 'needaction' for you. It can also be a message where you are mention with a '@my_name' (this feature is not added in this commit).
- The chatter doesn't change so much. It still allow you to see the discussion about the document, to star some message, and treat your needaction.
- Chat : the only way to have a minified conversation is from the Inbox Client Action. It allow you to keep an eye on a channel when working on document.
- Compose Message : it is now common to the Inbox, and the chatter. It offers shortcode substitution, attachments management, and optional subtype.
- UI : the chat window has been clean, they have a new look now.
To do so,
- Chatter code have been completely rewrite, independently of timeline view
- Add 'bus' as mail dependency, to insure real time
- A mail.message is broadcasted on the bus channel (db, mail.channel, channel_id), and a channel header on (db, res.partner, partner_id)
- Extracting mail_thread mixin used for Chatter and ChatMailThread (Inbox client action). This uniformize the programming structure with the server side
- Clean CSS style and use LESS instead of CSS
- Define a new messafe format (message_format method in mail_message.py), compatible with fetching and broadcasting
- Apply guideline coding conventions
This commit also break the module im_livechat, since im_chat models don't exists anymore and will be fixed in the next commit.
Thanks to Thibault Delavallee (tde) for the long debates and precious advices, Richard Mathot (rim) for the support, Simon Lejeune (sle) for the client action layout, and the Usability Team (apr, lle, bst yti) for the long testing.

The removed code stood for optional dependencies to im_chat module (integrate 'odoo support' in chat contact list). Since the new javascript system (require and define) doesn't allow optional dependency, this code will always crash if im_chat was not installed, causing warning in the js console.
The 'im_livechat.im_livechat' js dependency is a wrong conversion of the code to the new js system. im_livechat is not a dependency, but is loaded from OpenERP service server. Since this one runs under odoo-saas6 version, im_odoo_support will load js code fomr this version, and so require to use 'openerp' js object instead of the 'require' dependency.
The module system needs to know the dependencies of a given module
before executing the function. This is why the dependencies were
defined once in an array, and then were described one more times in the
call to require.
But a trick can simplify this: the boot function can parse the string
representation of the module and extract the calls to require from it.
It is more work for the processor, but it leads to simpler module
definitions.
