lol. Now that is just funny Dave. First off, I'm offended. I play PS2...not xbox. Second, conflict of interests means my company is building an e-commerce system (database already done and is quite intense in terms of functionality) that won't be free so why would I take the same knowledge (or even files) to an OS project that will directly compete with our (possibly flagship) project? I wouldn't and, I'm guessing, neither would the majority of the people in my position (that's like Adobe building an open source Flash IDE...why would they do that? For the love of the community? Not if Flash 9 (and so on) is still being built and sold).
Initially the project sounded like it was only a shopping cart (not a full site + database) so I was willing to write shopping cart code (add, delete, modify, payment gateways, etc) or use code I already have from prior e-comm sites. Doing a full blown site+db simply conflicts with our e-comm product. If you want previous code I've written for Authorize.net I will gladly pass it on. It isn't encapsulated but I can delete the extra. Don't be so offensive man. Calm down and bang it out yourself if you have to. Like someone said, taking the app on by yourself, or with a very small team IMO, should yield better results than throwing 500 developers on one project. In doing this you end up right where you are now...no one to help which is most likely due to no agreement on the project specs (seemed to be the entire conversation when I listened to the posts). So you know (and can remove me from your "low as dirt selfish cf developer" list), we have built a project the community can use for free. It hasn't launched yet (few more bugs to tweak and an interface to throw on it) but hopefully it will benefit the community. It isn't anything new but hopefully the wow factor will help it out a bit. As a personal note, ask me before making such strong statements and showing your ignorance in relation to my intentions, abilities, and/or desires. If you want to discuss that statement I suggest take it off list (email, phone, IM, whatever) and we can continue from there. BTW, PHP may have a larger following because it is...ummm...FREE! I am a PHP developer and on a php list. The main argument folks have is it is free. Well, and the fact you have to use tags in CF...they don't like that. And what you do with the php ppl is your business. ;-) On 1/9/06, dave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > No but you can help and thats the point, its pretty pathic when there are > thousands of ppl on the list and there are like 3 ppl who volunteered to > help. > And the message was posted here to try and get a few of you off your fat > overweight asses and lend a hand to help out the community.
