RE: [Collective-commerce] Re: Ecommerce - alternatives to Plone & PloneMall

[Patrick S. <Pa...@nf...>]

We can probably provide someone in a few months' time once some other
projects have been finalized either full or part time basis (not sure
yet).=20

Does anyone have any idea about the capacity Plonemall could handle.. if
we want to have 100's or 1000nds of shops on one website is that a
possibility ?=20

I am not a developer myself.. so any idea how much manpower would be
needed to get this working properly ?=20

Best regards

Patrick=20

Perhaps I was a bit hasty with my comments, but it was borne out of=20
frustration of just not knowing which way to go for my project.

I've spent some time looking at the various other systems I mentioned=20
before and installed some of them. None of them really fit my=20
requirements, many needing too many hacks to get right.

This little excursion has highlighted to me how much I really like the=20
Plone (& PloneMall) way of working and after going back to have a look=20
at all the PloneMall models and source things finally clicked into
place.

As Robert mentioned, it would be nice if we could turn PloneMall into an

out of the box solution for Plone and polish it up as it can be a very=20
good starting point.

As others have suggested a bit of organization and direction would help=20
things a great deal. I'm sure lots of us can each do things to help with

the project but as yet this is largely untapped.
