I am consistently impressed with how helpful and friendly people are to another on this list. It's good to see. And I wonder about the role that geek practices such as the agile methodology play in this kind of friendly behavior. I've been reading more about agile and related practices (I am a writer, not a programmer), and I have been surprised at the emphasis, in those practices, on ethics such as collaboration, authenticity, appropriate conflict resolution, and so on. In Lyssa Adkins' book "Coaching Agile Teams," she emphasizes values such as courage, focus, respect, and openness. As someone with a professional background in counselling, I can't help but notice how much overlap there is between agile values and counselling values. It's very heartening to see such deep, resonant, ancient human values at work in contemporary practices such as software development. And the Radiant community, more than any other software development community that I've encountered, embodies those values in the communications on this forum. Thanks for walking your talk.
Now, to my question: I'm looking for an ecommerce solution, to integrate with Radiant, that will allow me to sell my books (three of them) and my consulting services on my website (I'm running Radiant 0.9.1). Is something like Shopify a good option, or is there a simpler (or better) solution for someone like me? Thanks in advance. Ross Laird
