I've been using Cocoon for a few months now and there is no way I'm going to trade in this sort of power for a configurable e-commerce suite! I'd feel like I was painting myself into a corner rather than preparing myself for the unexpected ;-) Alos, this is my first serious engagement with an open source project and I'm having to much fun to quit now. I just want to make sure that I'm not overlooking any obvious layers for this sort of thing.
Thanks for the input :-) Richard ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colin W.
