Hi Giancarlo

Actually Teresa of Magnolia has been the last to be working on it. She was 
supposed to check her work back into the svn server but I have not heard from 
her for a while. Let me ping her and I will post the status of the cart 
afterwards.

As far as assistance: Yes, there are a few things that still need to be 
accomplished before we can release the cart as public CE module. At this time 
the cart module still has two dependencies that we need to get rid of... or we 
need to opensource the target modules themselves. As for one of the 
dependencies, it is only needed for two custom control types which I can easily 
integrate into the cart module. 

I'm a bit more worried about the second dependency. It is pretty much an 
extension to the content2bean functionality in Magnolia. We use it to convert 
nodes to beans and back with customizable behavior (e.g. when there is no node 
associated with bean x, because bean x is new, then the controller knows where 
to create the node for the bean and how to name it when saving it). This stuff 
is very handy but also quite "unstructured". So I'm not real sure how to 
proceed in this case. Phillip (Magnolia) also suggested to have a look at 
Jackrabbits OCM [1] for at least some of the features. I guess my best bet 
would be to list the functionality of this module in a post to the dev list and 
have people give me their thoughts on it.

Regards,
-will
