Modifications are pretty straightforward if you're fairly experienced with PHP. However the major drawback is that any modifications you make may need to be redone each time you change versions (upgrade). And because there is no plugin architecture most of the contributions (~plugins~) requires direct modification of the OSC files and thus are mostly attached to a specific version making upgrades very tedious. My conclusion is that if the base system does more than 95% of what you need then it should be a good choice. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* I'm not a real movie star -- I've still got the same wife I started out with twenty-eight years ago. -- Will Rogers */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
