If I click on the "apps" menu button I end up at www.oddo.com

If I change www to apps I get where I intended.  Whats up with that?

Explain the "Shop section".  One of the items for Sale is the same as the messaging interface with Openerp 7 (you can send a message not just read them).  You can also get the same functionality in Odoo 8 if you install Employee Database but this unfortunately also loads Human Resources which hardly seems required.

Could someone explain.  Are all small prior features going to be sold now?
