I've been working on a new project at goodharvest.com.au using the same software that powers lettuceshare. This new site required both a shopping cart and a new point of sale system. The difference between this and the current purchasing system used by many co-ops is that point of sale is designed for non-members. This means we can sell produce and take payments in cash, eftpos or credit card. The point of sale software is integrated into both the purchase and payment data, so that all member and non-member data can be processed together.

One of the benefits of working on Free Software is that I can make these new features available to other groups. Just let me know if you think you could benefit from adding either of these options. Thanks to Mick for starting another great project, and agreeing that sharing our resources is important in growing our local food systems. He's also got a nice looking website... obligatory screen shot:
