[development] E-Commerce - Call for Developers, testers etc

[Robert Garrigós Castro]

Hi Gordon,

I've developed a few sites with 4.6 and E-Commerce so I feel quite 
confident with it. However my experience with the new 4.7 is still very 
little. I feel like I have to help to this port of e-commerce to 4.7 So 
I would like to try with the shipping.module first.
