As you can see, this is an ambitious and innovcative project which is going to require some serious time and development, so the call is going out to the web community to get involved. We are looking for partners who can assist in the following areas: - Coding - php, ajax and sql
- Web design - html to W3C and web 2.0 standards
- Graphic designers for templates and features - oh and that logo up there ^^ could do with some work ;)
- Knowledge Base, Wiki and FAQ authors
- Translators - any languages at all!
- Beta Testers
- Sponsors
If you can help in ANY of these areas, please visit www.shopacart.co.uk and register your interest. This will be an entirely open source project, but there is a business model which we hope will benefit coders and reward skills whilst still offering a great solution for startup companies and people looking to re-create their web presence alike. We would like to stress that whilst osCommerce is a fantastic project, shopacart will NOT be based upon osCommerce code but is a brand new project which we hope will raise the standard even higher for the next generation of eCommerce. Initially the project is being developed with the UK audience in mind, but as more people join the team, we hope to expand the remit to a global platform. We feel there is a demand for a better web, which has always been the logon.info ethos, and with shopacart we will be looking to not only meet this demand, but put the WOW factor back into online shopping. Go take a look! www.shopacart.co.uk
