Comment: Ideas and thoughts for YACS in 2007 ...

NickR : As we began to talk together into the forum in french Les tags dans YACS. Une idée folle ? [7.2] about the last wish expressed in your article above, I will answer here to some other questions among which I feel particularly concerned by two of them for this coming year:
 

" Ecommerce cart - I bet someone will want YACS to work as a shop in the next year "

A lot of persons ask for it, and, as it is not YACS' purpose, we have initiated a team inside the YACS' team among whom you can get in touch with Christophe Battarel who expresses himself fluently enough in english. We want to obtain results quicly in linking a good ecommerce cart on the YACS plateform. The question here is not at all to integrate a complete ecommerce cart into YACS (problem which was already treated), but to make them to work harmoniously as if they were one, to treat, de facto, this aspect and be able to fulfill the wishes of some members who are already engaged with YACS as professionals . This team belongs fully to YACS' team. The coming new form of the "Yetanother..." server should leave a place for reports of activity on this subject.

 

" .... maybe develop templates for image galleries and/or blogs (as a way of adding the links bar that I suggested above). "

One suggestion is to develop an Overlay as Dobliu is writing about above here, that he is already working on. This will be completed by another opportunity offered very soon by Bernard to provide a functionality by section (or by article) to introduce meta data. That is to say all that reside between the tags head. Clearly for readers in english, it will offer a lot of opportunities to add, for instance, a fully CSS gallery on an article. But not only...
