All,

I’m looking at possibly working on an e-commerce site prototype which  
will require all of the standard elements (product management, shopping  
cart, hooks to payment, etc.), and I was wondering if anyone had any  
recommendations or info. on “starter app” type things in this area. I’m  
not looking for anything fancy, just something that would give me a head  
start and is worth using (meaning I get more value from taking advantage  
of it than customizing it).

Thanks,  
Wes G.
