Hi,
Since E-Commerce is such a big module(s) and has a lot of functionality that really needs a more fluid way of collaborating on ideas and speeding up development.
I started discussing this with Dries, but because of time constraints such as Dries getting married, and taking time off to spend time with his new bride this was put into the low priority pile, and we didn't get this completed.
So in an interim step, I have created an E-Commerce mailing list from my domain which will allow E-Commerce to move forward hopefully in leaps and bounds.
Once Dries gets back from his well deserved break, I will take up the discussion on moving the list to drupal.org where it will gain even more benefit from being under the drupal.org umbrella.
in the mean time you can go to
http://lists.heydon.com.au/listinfo.cgi/ecommerce-heydon.com.au
which will allow you to subscribe to this list, and we can get down the the work of getting the best possible E-Commerce out.
Thanks. Gordon.
