About the Email and Auction:
There are already two good projects going on for this: PHP Auction and
Horde's IMP for email. I think we should remember that this is a e-commerce
system, not a website in a box system.
As for the comments, I think that is a great idea. I also like the idea
that I have seen at Amazon(?) where people can say if the comment is useful
or not. Then, if say 5 people say it isn't (or 10 or whatever) you can
delete the comment, in case some idiot has gone in and added some stupid
comment... In this way, the website begins to take care of itself..
That is definitely something I would also like to see in Version 2.0. I
would also like the ability to link to an affiliate program. For instance,
I want to sell books in my store through Chapters.ca, however I don't want
the "Add Item To Basket" button to show up, as I can't sell the book to
them. There should be an option to just link to the affiliate's store.
Thanks!
Mike

I guess I can see how a merchant might want to offer a Hotmail clone, but
this is out of scope for FreeTrade. On the other hand, it wouldn't be hard
create such an application using the FreeEnergy model, thus allows those
screen and action modules to be dropped into a FreeTrade site. If anyone's
interested in starting a project, I can make it a Working-Dogs project
(w/CVS,
Mailing List, etc).

Yeah, good idea. JJ and I have plans for a sophisticated logging system
that
takes advantage of PHP's link to syslog. We want to log all errors, and
logging
failed logins is a good idea, too.
> 3) Web page builder.
Allowing users to write PHP through the Web is a high risk. And it's pretty
easy
to create a text file in the screens directory. The only trick is
remembering
to add an entry to the ScreenInfo array. My argument has been that if you
can't
handle those two things, you shouldn't have the power to add new code.
> 4) Mailing list capability.
Can you elaborate?
> 5) Comment ability for products.
Yeah, this is a good idea.
> 6) Follow XML standard.
We are following the ECML standard, which is an XML language. I think we've
agreed in principal on complying with XHTML when that standard is in wide
use.
Until then, the plan is to change to lowercase.
> 7) Auction support.
This is something we've wanted for awhile, but it's tricky. We'll try to
get it into 2.0.
