Hi Peter, I don''t think my goal (yet) is to rewrite the whole of osCommerce in Ruby. I just want to create a functional, flexible store in Rails, so it''s not hard to get your own site up and running quickly. The svn repository is at http://joevandyk.com/svn/gamefest. Please take a look at what I have so far. The biggest needs for it right now is the payment authorization and shipping/invoicing of orders. If you want to contribute to the code, that would be a great place to start.
