I will think about making it open source in the future. The problem is a) It is my first python and web2py project, so the coding is not always as clean as an experienced python programmer would produce. Secondly a music download store is not close to a generic ecommerce store. When I have some more time I can maybe tidy up the code and make it an open source music download project. This week I wrote a picture gallery for my sister in law. I had previously written it in net objects fusion with the idea that she would be able to modify it. It proved much to complex so I have to add each picture for her. By rewriting in with web2py, which took perhaps half a day, she can now manage it herself. In the near future I will add this as an appliance. The one there is very incomplete and more javascript than web2py.
