[geeklog-devel] GSoC 2010 idea - E-Commerce/Shopping Cart plugin

Sun Apr 11 02:16:33 EDT 2010

I checked it our, and it will indeed be a great starting point for the
e-commerce plugin for Geeklog. Actually, I thought I'd use it as more of a
reference as I need to port over something with frequent updates (such as
VirtueMart) which has community backing as well...
