Comments on: Should I use the new v3 osCommerce? http://www.clubosc.com/should-i-use-the-new-v3-oscommerce.html Showcasing osCommerce...the good, the bad and the ugly! Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:32:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: Gary http://www.clubosc.com/should-i-use-the-new-v3-oscommerce.html/comment-page-1#comment-4361 Gary Sun, 29 Aug 2010 10:29:20 +0000 http://www.clubosc.com/?p=339#comment-4361 The problem here is in the organisation of osCommerce - frankly it sucks! What happens now appears to be HPDL thinking of an idea then implementing it in the wrong way. There appears to be no planning as to what goes on, it is all haphazard. 2.3 should be released within the next week, which brings to an end (hopefully) the 2.0 product. Then 100% of HPDL's and Mark's efforts can be spent on 3.0, when we see a version that is at least 75% usable on a live site, I'll start to use it.

Wait at least for the next release. The thing is that the v3 on github is so much different from the latest alpha that at this point in time it is really not advisable to use v3.

IMO there is lack of moderation with the v3 forums and some action is required. If members cannot answer a question for v3 then don't touch the post. And moderators should clean up the mixed up questions that belong in v2. Even in the contribution threads there are some who basically discourage users from using v3 mods by getting in-between technical questions proposing v2. Same happens even for v2.2. It's really sad. If it was going like this between v2.1 and v2.2 the 2.2 would never taken off and contributions would never be used. If you want to use v3, go ahead and use it like it is in production. Because going like this, it will never be in production. Updates and new conrtibs is an ongoing thing.

That does not encourage community members to create new ones or port existing ones to the MS3 A5.
