I agree with David, Personally I will keep an eye open for oppurtunities to be helpful. I have managed to extend satchmo for my own needs without too much effort, but I doubt whether such extensions in general are useful to be commited back to the upstream. It could be more handy to make a sort of public list with (github) links to the various apps/extensions.
What satchmo needs in my opinion is to be future proof (django 1.5), while staying robust. as for your question Philip Lee, I can recommend using it to make a capable e-commerce site, as I have just finished my own.
