[ale] open source e-store/shopping carts

[James P. Kinney III]

The premiere open-source e-commerce/shopping cart is Interchange,
formerly minivend.

RedHat picked up Interchange and ran it for a while. It has always been
under the direct programing control of it's creators, even with RedHat
driving the process.

It is very well written. Uses TONS of Perl. Supports multiple types of
database backends, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, GDB flat files. It can
hook directly to CC authorization and processing sites. It can use GPG
for strong encryption of CC numbers for emailing to an admin for offline
processing.

It uses templates for basic page layout. It has tons of documentation.
The mailing list is quite active (think ALE on a hot politics day :).
