A Cabal have decided that in the interim we should resurrect the list on another server. This is that resurrected list. If you like, I can host it on euro.pm.org which has a nice fast connection. Of course, you'd have to suffer it being in Python (mailman). Cheers Paul, This is likely to be only an interim thing anyhow until penderel is ready to do the job, so I guess that as long as everyone is relatively happy we'll minimize the inconvenience and keep it here for the time being. /J\ -- Jonathan Stowe | http://www.gellyfish.com | I'm with Grep on this one http://www.tackleway.co.uk |

IMHO this is the best - thou I trailed it for a project that never happened (or rather it changed into a PHP project ...). This is the most complex - and is quite nift - the developer support is excellent (Mike Heims Minivend author is on their developer mailing list quite a lot). Possibly better for big projects - and possibly overkill for small ones - depends on what you want ... also found Symphero http://www.symphero.net and Apache::iNcom http://indev.insu.com/iNcom/incom.html on freshmeat. if anyone's used any of these packages, and can recommend / ring alarm bells, i would be overjoyed to hear about it. our requirements: - clean, extensible API you can code your own subroutines (in perl) - so you could in theor do quite alot. - support for multiple vendors From which POV - vendor as a catelogue of goods to sell then yes, you can run many shops under interchange. - support for multiple transaction handlers (iPin, DataCash) Again yes - although you may have to write your own interface. - all yer standard shopping basket type stuff yup. - as little wheel-inventing as possible The only things you need to do is get your head round it as its faily complex (interchange that is). Hence intergration may be an issue - but I think the time is worth it due to its extensibility. Like anything the more time you invest the more you are likely to get in return. is all this just some pleasant fairyland dream? Well crimbo is comeing and Father Christmass may help you along ;-). Greg ps I've no connection with Interchange / Akopia - just think Interchange one of the better cart systems. hmm... are the blackstar boys gettign anywhere with CPANning their system, i wonder...? any advice apprec, jo
Re: me-commerce
Hi Jo, we are in the process of implementing minivend on the server side and our own windows app on the client side to upload stock/inventory and download orders. I have looked at this problem for quite a while and minivend seems the best solution in conjuction with our 'Digital Shop Manager software. Maybe we could come to some sort of arrangement depending upon your requirements? many thanks, John Gold - kr8.com -Original Message- From: jo walsh [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Donnerstag, 14.
