osCom in my view cannot be seen as active project - the "team" is one guy. Any updates put out depend on one 1 guy who's doing it in his spare time next to the day job. Just try to see when the project owner last posted an entry on the osCom forum - I think you'll find it was 8 Feb 2008. That's over 4 months ago ....

With osCom you need to be careful to distinguish between community coding (contributions) which is active and core development which isn't. My view is that core development is a dead project. It's currently limping along with PHP5 and MySQL5, but once we hit PHP6 it'll probably fade slowly into obscurity.

<rant>
And don't think - well, that's okay, just get involved then & do something .... we've tried that. I could post here a long list of names from talented coders who got banned from the osCom project. But the osCommerce name belongs to 1 guy, so he's the only one who can do anything with the osCom brand/coding. And I just can't see how 1 guy can do all the coding in his spare time, even if he's super talented .. there's just too much to do.
