  Modifications

  There are thousands of modifications or add-ons to osCommerce, called contributions because they are contributed back to the group for free by an active development community under the GNU Public License. The contributions range from a few lines explaining how to do something, to elaborate programs that run within the program, and language packs for nearly any language. This makes osCommerce even more powerful and robust over time.

  History

  osCommerce was started in March 2000 in Germany by project founder and leader Harald Ponce de Leon as The Exchange Project. While officially osCommerce is still in its development stage, the current Milestone 2.2 release is considered stable as evidenced by the thousands of stores around the world which sport the phrase, “powered by osCommerce.” The planned Milestone 3.0 is expected to be a major re-write of the program to incorporate an object-oriented backend, a template system to allow easy layout changes, and inclusion of an administration-area username and password definition during installation.
