Subject: Re: Ruby on Rails version of osCommerce in PHP?

WRT osCommerce or any other call to action to build an app... it's been
my experience that there are 2 types of open source / community apps:
1) the kind where someone wants to rally a bunch of people to help them
build something (not very successfully) and 2) the kind where someone
takes an initial stab at doing something, then releases it to the
community and asks for help (way more successful, provided it shows
promise).

I lost all interest in Rail Frog because they spent a good month
discussing stuff and building infrastructure instead of just blazing
ahead with some damn code.
