oscommerce & wordpress

1. start using oscommerce plugin:
1. it provides access to the osc database -> ok
2. catalog & product data are listed with inline HTML -> unflexible
2. develop  a jquery based viewer on the product data -> funky
3. use injected JSON for initial data download to delegate rendering on javascript completely -> fast
4. use jquery templates to split design from logic -> nice
5. add templates to PHP class osc_products using inheritance -> neat
6. use osc shop for shopping cart -> no existing classes can be used
1. use the application_top for setup
2. remove all output modules
3. return the oscid only to reference the cart again
4. use ajax based shopping cart in wordpress
