Ok.. in what format should we be presenting these ideas/suggestions for pages. Just a simple List, like:
Index page:

Welcome message
"What's hot/new"
Login box
Menu
Or diagrams? (such as a dummy page in static form)

Or both?

:)

How about something like this in the wiki. Where Store links to a list of pages, and each page links to a list of features, and each feature links feature info, noes & discussion.

Store
--page 1
----feature 1
----feature 2
------extended feature information, notes & discussion
--page 2
----etc..

hey,

because i don't like the top down approach i wrote some requirements for products to get something started.

Code: Select all

Products :
	- must have a name
		
	- must have a price
		- fixed		
		- per size
		- as a special offer for a defined period
	
	- may have a description
	
	- may belong to 0..n categories
	
	- may have 0..n images
		- each image could have a subline
		
	- may have 0..n documents (e.g. detailed specifications)
	
	- may have 0..n properties (e.g. color, material ...)

Although I'm sure there are at least more 1000 things to think of, sike's list looks pretty cool 8)

I thought of another name that you guys can consider. I like it!

NOS Commerce (and then sort of lean on a quick (NOS - Nitrous) type branding). NOS stands for Not OS Commerce.

I think it would be bad PR to use a name like that. And copyright issue.

maybe... to make sure this thing keeps moving... we should set up some days/times where we have online meetings to discuss things. Anybody else second this?

am up for that. Although to accomodate time zones, perhaps we should utilise the wiki and have sections for discussions about various topics.

I think we should have discussion pages in wiki. My schedule is wacked and random.

Well if we don't have meetings, when is this stuff going to be worked out? I don't see how we can make any kind of decisions without some kind of meeting...

There will be meetings, they'll just not be conventional, and will take time (days or even weeks) to complete.

If I knew how, would do myself, but the idea is to create discussions for the different topics, a topic being an issue or decision that needs discussion in order to resolve. Then we either have a timescale (say a week?) to come to a decision, or if the majority come to a decision. Which ever comes first.
