What is ZCommerce?
It's a mailing list they've set up at CodeIt. You'll find it listed on the Zope site along with the other mailing lists: http://www.zope.org/Resources/MailingLists
Who is developing it, and where is it? If at all possible, I'd like to colaborate on it instead of duplicating it for my site.
I don't think anyone is really developing "ZCommerce" at this point. I think part of the problem is that designing a commerce platform that meets everyone's needs is really quite hard. The list kind of trailed off in spiralling use cases and talk of varying tax laws. I don't think anyone had the time on their hands to tackle such a broad project when they've got real work to do. For my part, I had good intentions to release things, but I've been too busy keeping up with regular work. It's much quicker to develop something that does precisely what I need and not worry about packaging and customizability. Ultimately, I'd like to be working with everyone else on a good, open platform. Kevin
