I'm interested in that, too.

I'm not sure that there is a list of desired features to define what is
missing from it. I suggest that we have a bit of a brainstorm and see if
we can't arrive at some sort of consensus on that.

For my own part, I think that the broad areas that could do with
addressing are: -

- Merchandising (cross-sell, up-sell etc.)
- Catalogue navigation (beyond a simple category hierarchy)
- Options (Size, colour, accessories and the cost build-up associated
with them)
- Shipping (carriage calculations, tracking)
- Multiple payment options.

Some of this stuff can get quite intricate, but based on experience with
specifying/developing a previous product I think I've got an idea as to
how much of the above can be tackled in a relatively simple way.

Do you have a merchant (or sector) in mind? Although I have a fair idea
of what I think constitutes a generic offering, my own eStore based work
is a pretty tightly focussed B2B case with very specific requirements -
ideally, we should have at least one real target.

Paypal integration should be pretty straightforward.

Presumably you are not in the US or UK? I'm in the UK, FWIW.

(BTW, I have your private note, but won't be able to respond properly
until tomorrow)
