Indeed. Consider the role analogous to being the game designer of some game. They are often the pitch-man and interface to "the money" -- the people who say "sounds great, build it."onion2k wrote:The doc monkey wields lots and lots of power over code monkeys in a project .. basically the doc monkey is the one who tells the code monkeys what to write .. don't scoff.

You can choose to share this responsibility amongst each other or whatever you like.
I'm the doc monkey in my team at work.. by doc monkey I mean the person who writes the docs, and that's it. No power, just docs.onion2k wrote:The doc monkey wields lots and lots of power over code monkeys in a project .. basically the doc monkey is the one who tells the code monkeys what to write .. don't scoff.

I'm very interested in aiding this project. I've had my fair share of time spent
banging my head against the osCommerce code, and have wanted to do
a rewrite for a long time, but never had the drive to tackle such a project
alone.
Anyway, something OOP would probably be the ideal way to tackle this.
Also I generally lean towards Test Driven Development, but that decision is
to whoever is "leading" this project.

Ok great.
As feyd said we should first create detailed specifications for the store. If anyone wants to start on this feel free. I'll be working on this very soon. I didn't get a chance to tonight as I was hoping. I'll be setting up a default installation of OSC for us to play around in shortly. Once we get the specifications hammered out, we can break it into chunks and distribute the pieces to all the volunteer programmers.
