No, I just did an osc repair, I'd never worked with it before, although I have worked a lot with other open source apps like phpbb, which have several things osc simply seems to have given up on:

active development
useful websites
useable forums

I'd never use osc again, I can totally see why the zen cart group forked their project, osc is ridiculous, the worst programming I've seen in a long time, and the last release was in 2003 I believe. This is a dead project, I'd never use it again.

Zen cart however looks pretty good, templating system, which osc must have if it wants to be taken seriously as far as I'm concerned.

This is not a criticism of open source, which often works very well, but it looks like the core developers have left the building over a year ago. Don't get caught by the name, it's not happening any more.

I know an ex osc developer, he likewise quit, and was very unimpressed, to put it mildly, with how osc is run.
