IMHO, (some call me an expert), you di dnot provide enough info for an
informed opinion. CMF is a framework fro building content management
systems, not am E-commerce framework. Sure, depending on what you are
doing, you can build a site that employs som ee-commerce activities with
CMF, but the e-commerce thing is more of a sideline.=20

If you mean to ask if CNMF is good for building a catalog, i would say
the answer is no, it is not designed to be a product catalog, and as
such you will see issues getting a round peg into the square hole.

E-Commerce is a cery broad term. You will have to be more specific if
you want a better response.
