NYCPHP Meetup

OsCommece, although very buggy  and budensome to it's databases is still the
most flexibly and fully supported open source solution I could find. If one
is even and average PHPer he can make OsCommerce beautiful, and functional.
With thousands of developers paticipating and hundreds and hundreds of
modules and contributions being developed weekly, I strongly suggest giving
it a good honest try.
