Re: [LemonPOS-general] Continue the project; webPOS

[Narcis G. <inf...@ac...>]

I needed LemonPOS/CoinBox to work now, and the adaptations were costing
me more time than building something from scratch (wheel is easier to
make than reinvent spacecrafts).
That restaurant is begining to work with webPOS this week.

I expect to publish webPOS in a website next month, after some more
bugfixing and some enhacement to make it easy to install, to support
localizations (other than catalan) and ticket titles customization.
