Web based email for admin only. Being able to view emails and reply to
support questions with regards to orders. Not meant for customers.

Web page builder for admin only. With security logging in place, I would
feel safe to add this feature. But this is only for my personal agenda.

I guess this is already implemented in some fashion. Being able to query
email address from database to announce customers of something new,
exciting, and special at your store. Give customers the option to be able
to have their email be part of this mailing list. A flag in the customers
info table to represent this would do fine.

Yah, I liked the ECML implementation, it's sweet! Giving customers the
e-wallet capability. If you guys want to learn more go to www.ecml.org.

8) Connection to CC payment processor for Address Verification and fund
transfer as a PHP module. Three payment processors of interest:
Insignio, payment.net, and cybercash. I heard some companies are selling
a payment processor machine for $50K and it uses the SET (Secure
Electronic Transfer) protocol.

9) Comprehensive documentation for developers, system integrators, and
users. For developers are outlining functions and what it does. For
system integrators are teaching how to setup MySQL, create tables, edit
global_settings, enable security logging (Freetrade 2.0), etc. to get
Freetrade up and running. For users are to walk them through the admin
screen on how to add items, add departments, add users, complete an order,
run report, etc.
