James, that's great news. I'm planning on helping upgrade ec to a series of packages (with upgrade paths =) and use more integrated aspecs of the acs kernel, such as ad_form. So look forward to contributing bits to your work.
Ben, the ec code is mainly early openacs, no ad_form, no use of the CR etc.. but there's lots of jewels in there. Bart has just added an interface to google's froogle service. And as you can see from James and searching these forums, there is plenty of interest in adding new work to it. I am soon to add a 1 page fulfillment form (as soon as I get rid of a bug in it ..and it doesn't use ad_form either).
I help operate a site running openacs 4.6.3 with ecommerce (kingsolar.net), and will update to 5.x once:
A. we (my company) put ec through some local requirements tests, and
B. there is a consensus that aolserver4.x with nsopenssl3 is production ready[1]
