* Reverse auction website complete with live running site that
serves as an example. Its
likely others will adopt it as well. Its simple, but not too simple, so
you can get your mind around it
but its not so trivial that it doesn't require any complex logic. It
needs reports, it needs actions, it needs
database, I'm 3/4 of the way done with it. And plan to incorporate it
into my Cocoon presnetation with
Conrad D'Cruz in October. It also will demonstrate skinning, branding,
that kinda thing. Most importantly
everyone knows about auction sites, not everyone knows about inventory
management and Mfg sites.
