As i mentioned in another thread:
We should think about a "shop plugin" for current tt_news since the basic
funcionality and structure is nearly the same, regarding items, categories,
latest items, old items a.s.o.
This would have three advantages:
1. We had a working structure that "only" had to be extended with pricing,
calculation and some other features and ERP functionalities
2. We could do it in a way, that updates to the current tt_news version
would update the new tt_products as well.
3. It will be easier for users to learn how this "multi purpose plugin"
works than learning the use of two completely different plugins

AFAIK old tt_news has been derived from tt_products (you can see it in the
comments in the PHP code)
Maybe this time we can do it vice versa.
