Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
So, there was that Authentication class...and most recently that osCommerce rebuild...
Where do each of these stand in terms of completion?
I could certainly use osCommerce rebuild...especially if it was built around smarty or similar template engine...
Have any community projects reach at least a version 1?
If I found a community project which interested me or one I was interested in and offered nominal funding, would that improve a projects likely hood of success in reaching completed status sooner???
Community projects by their very nature take a long time to complete. The developers are working on it in their spare time, which some of us don't have a lot of at the moment
I would love to the the authentication/authorization class getting completed, and would be more than willing to help, however my oop skills are way behind most ppl on these forums..

Patience and Prodding - the two fundamental skills required before joining a community project
Community projects, like most open source projects without a must-keep deadline, tend towards a slow progression. Best way to get something moving along is to attempt a "prodding". Drop some non-subtle hints and contribute on its forum. If the timing is suitable to others you can wind up spurring on a development spurt. If it doesn't, shrug and try again in a few weeks...
