Re: open source e-commerce

Next paragraph about Zope is not about Zope, but about third-party modules:

There are numerous products (plug-in Zope components) available
for download to extend the basic set of site building tools. These
products include new content objects; relational database and
other external data source connectors; advanced content management
tools; and full applications for e-commerce, content and document
management, or bug and issue tracking. Zope includes its own HTTP,
FTP, WebDAV, and XML-RPC serving capabilities, but can also be
used with the Apache or other web servers. 

Please, write a full e-commerce application for UCW and make it
available for download too!




Well, this particular project is about money and getting it done now, not gratuitous R&D (like my game stuff). I'm just trying to figure out the merits of Lisp-as-language, vs. demerits of Lisp-as-libraries-and-tools-platform. I'm leaning very strongly towards Eclipse-centric development, as this is the best open source project I've seen. That would mean most stuff done in Java. There are big stacks of open source stuff for Java, many related to e-commerce if not exactly so. Things that integrate straight into the Eclipse IDE. For instance see www.jboss.org Anyways, I'm wondering if there are Lisp --> JVM things that would be helpful for certain parts of the puzzle. I'm familiar with Scheme --> JVM things, for instance Bigloo Scheme and Kawa Scheme, but I don't know that I trust the former for prime time, and I'm not experienced in the latter. The Schemeway Eclipse plugin author is deeply into Kawa Scheme, however.
