[TYPO3-dev] Progress report II

[Ernesto Baschny [cron IT]]

Hi Georg,

great work so far! Amazing how fast the ball got rolling in this issue. 
I think what was crucial here is that someone "just did it" instead of 
just talking about. Thanks!

About Magento itself, Georg, could you tell us what do you think? It is 
already "usable" for German deals?

How will you plan to bind in "checkout", "basket" etc in the TYPO3 
integration? I can imagine that one wants to use "more" than just some 
product listing here and there in TYPO3, but that one wants to use the 
whole "Shop" (the browsing, categorization, the basket, maybe even the 
registration process, the checkout process, etc) from Magento in their 
TYPO3 environment. What are the concepts to do so in your extension?

Cheers,
Ernesto
