[Typo3-shop] Avoid extension chaos please

[Michael Stucki]

Hello Franz,

>> - tx_shop

> tt_shop

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. Only the old TYPO3 plugins were named as
tt_* but new extensions are always prefixed with "tx_".

So unless you're sure this has a specific reason, I'd say tx_shop is the
correct label.

Yes of course.

I don't think it will come into TYPO3 ever again. Kasper recently announced
some cleanup in the core, removing all extensions in typo3/ext/ and
changing some of them into system extensions (typo3/sysext/).

Have a look at the dev list where this has been widely discussed.

I think the shop plugin will never turn back into the TYPO3 core again, but
it could become a "recommended" extension.

When we have lots of extensions doing all the same, the average user will
probably ask for an "official suggestion" (remember why I started this
thread?!) and this is where we should point to one of these extensions...
