[Typo3-dev] on development of shop extension

[Daniel Hinderink [TYPO3]]

Hi Sophie,

A team which you can contact via Sebastian Krebs - CreativeWebTeam
<s.krebs at creativewebteam.com> is working on a full-fledged new eCommerce
implementation in the TYPO3.

I have read the project description (in german) which looks extremely
promising.

Another plus is that they have a deadline :-)

Cheers

Daniel
