texte = I have been using WebDNA since it was version 1.0 called WebCatalog. I have never used the store builder, but I have always used the commerce tags. I see no reason to get rid of them either. In order for me to move ahead with the new version, I will have to rewrite every site I have. I vote for either leaving them alone, or better yet, improving them as Donovan suggests. I do not care whether the storebuilder goes away. It never created anything that I wanted to use in the first place. -Jeff On Feb 25, 2012, at 4:56 AM, Donovan Brooke wrote: > christophe.billiottet@webdna.us wrote: >> Exact, and we will not deprecate them, until everyone here agrees >> to go forward: we will just undocument them, so newcomers will not >> be trapped with these relics. >> >> - chris > > > Our entire language is a relic if you want to put it into those > terms. ;-) > > Nobody I know is trapped with the commerce tags.
