Hi Steve,
How closely coupled is the Shopping Basket (and therefore ec G2) to the accounts packages?
The shopping basket functionality in ec g2 is a part of accounts-receivables. There will be an api to connect POS devices. accounts-ledger/accounts-receivables basically standardizes the auditing and admin/order and admin/products and a few other features available in ecommerce now.
Would it be possible to make the new ec standalone if required? Perhaps we could create an eCommerce Lite from the new package once its closer to completion?
The point of ecG2 is that you only use what you want to use. If you just want ecommerce standardized to use the features OpenACS has added since.. OpenACS started (ecommerce was one of the first packages), then see ecommerce-2.
cheers,
Torben
