Update EvaluationTemplate to have clearer links to each UseCase

The idea is to use the evaluation template to fill out for each project
codebase evaluation we do, but have an easy link back to the use case it
refers to.

As I was making this edit, I added a few FIXMEs to things that need
clarification and/or completion.

Tryton is a fork of [[OpenERP]]. A comparison of Tryton and OpenERP is available at [[!wikipedia Comparison_of_Tryton_and_Open_ERP]]. Another comparision can be found on <http://www.openerp2tryton.com/>

Based on a comunity with it's own foundation. <http://www.tryton.org/foundation/index.html>

## Technical

- Python for server
- Python/GTK+ for desktop client 
- Web client in development (Repo: <http://hg.tryton.org/sandbox/sao>  Demo: <https://demo.tryton.org:8000>(there is some issues with certificates))
- Application to manage user portals connected to erp. <http://openlabs.github.io/nereid/>
- Forked from [[OpenERP]] in 2008 -- [[!wikipedia Tryton#Origin_and_history]]
- Migrations from versions are full supported. 

## Preliminary evaluation

### Positive

- Documented modules
- Modular application, wide range of modules
  - Official modules: <http://hg.tryton.org/modules/>
  - Comunity modules available on bitbucket, see
    - <http://bitbucket.org/trytonspain>
    - <http://bitbucket.org/zikzakmedia>
    - <http://bitbucket.org/nantic>
    - <http://bitbucket.org/pokoli>  (and others).
    - Also avaiilable on pypy  <https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=tryton&submit=search>.
- Separated client and server presumably making collaboration easy
- Can create reports -- [[!wikipedia Tryton#Technical_features]]

## [[UseCases/GeneratingReports]] Evaluation

### Positive
- Capable of Trial Balance and Chart of Accounts reports.
- Probably capable of Expense, Income reports with minor, semantic[report templates] development effort.
- Possible to create [custom reports](http://doc.tryton.org/3.0/trytond/doc/topics/reports/index.html)

### Negative
- Does not seem to support funds, thus it is not possible to generate reports for a specific fund.

### Examples
- Generated [[General_Ledger.odt]].
