James Alexander <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |ASSIGNED --- Comment #9 from James Alexander <[email protected]> 2012-10-22 21:26:09 UTC --- Thanks for the poke Andrew, @MZ: The shopify code is sadly not completely open or available. Pieces of it (https://github.com/Shopify ) including much of their payment process ( https://github.com/Shopify/active_merchant ) is but it really only lets us write a new payment processor for them which they can then integrate if they want. In the long run I would really like to use either a Mediawiki extension or something like Magento which is an open source php shop system (both free and paid/hosted open source but the free version is still pretty darn good) . If we use Mediawiki I think the easiest payment system is going to be piggy backing onto our fundraising processing software that already integrates well and is fairly scalable for something like that. Both options would be much better for translations. @Nemo: Yeah, the original decision to start with Shopify was done before my time in the role but I have very unpolished notes that I made near the start and since then that I'm happy to share in writing and/or phone/email conversations about my thoughts. The simple version is that there are multiple other options that could be available (including some that I would prefer like Magento and MW) but the ease and simplicity of starting with shopify meant it made sense to continue along this path for now given our resources. They are very good for 1 language (any language really) and are very plug and play. I think we need to increase sales to really justify the resources that would be required to do something more complex then shopify but I'm working on that and heading in that direction. I think it will happen. On a side note: I expect to have at least one language opening up next month. I'm going to start the translation process on wiki as soon as I can (I have not yet finalized what that first language will be but have it narrowed down to a couple at least). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
