Hi everyone!  I have finally been able to get the old forums online.  You can now access all the valuable information that is available in the old forums.  Please keep in mind that the forums are read-only as we now prefer to use Google Groups to perform all discussions surrounding phpShop.

To be honest, I am still on the fence on whether to use forums or not.  Using a mailing list ensures that the load on the server is not too high compared to using forums.  This is the main reason we wanted to move to mailing lists.  But I also recognize that the forums already exist and the wealth of information available in them makes it odd to change and now have to access two different places for information.

The thought is that if all goes well, we will have important information available in the project wiki instead of being contained in forum or mailing list threads.  

Anyone want to help writing documentation?  Chime in.

We are back!  We have been offline for quite some time due to a server failure we had back in August.  While we have had backups to recover from, time was the limiting factor: not enough of it to go around so that we could focus on getting things back up and running.  But now we have found time and are delighted to publish the site once again.  

This time around we have made some changes that we hope will make it easier for us to keep things up to date.  For example, we are running the primary web site using the Wordpress blogging platform. This allows us to quickly and easily keep the site updated at all times.

We have also decided to use Google Code for hosting the development project at http://code.google.com/p/phpshop.  It is very simplistic and easy to use.  It also accomplishes what we need by offering a simple way to collaborate on the code.  

Finally, we are recovering the old forum threads and hope to have these published soon.  We are trying to figure out whether or not to use the forums or to move over to Google Groups instead.  If anyone has any comments please share them.

Thank you for visiting and we hope to keep seeing our little shopping cart grow!
