Bug Description
Hi,
We are starting to use the banking-addons modules to implement better banking capabilities in OpenERP for Costa RIca.
We need to expand the functionality in order to accomplish our objective. We are very happy to see that the code is well documented. But the way that the match method and it's dependent methods are implemented doesn't allow us to localize the banking-addons without having to rewrite several methods completely.
Before we do this and duplicate the work between the teams, I would like to know if you are open to a code refactor, only in form. We can reorganize the code doing more small methods, without changing it's current functionality. That way we can inherit the objects and change only some of those methods, or even inherit them (with a super call).
We need to invest time in this either way, but we rather do it in the right way getting these addons better.
I will wait for your feedback while we start designing the changes and start localizing some parts of it.

Hi Carlos,
a lot of voices in the OpenERP community have recently expressed that the Banking Addons fulfil a certain need, but do so in a heavyweight, monolithic manner. For a start, the Banking Addons should be split up into separate modules for
- basic functionality (i.e. importing bank statements)
- integration with account_payment for exporting payment and direct debit orders
- automatic matching according to customizable or localized rules
- interactive matching
- account number validation and lookup
Your initiative fits perfectly within this goal. A merge proposal will be more than welcome.
Cheers,
Stefan.
