hi folks,
nice to meet you all. at the beginnig - i´m germany based and have also that VAt problem often mentioned in several threads. as we all see there are so many differences in all our countrys that only a generalistic solution will make sense to be future open. i´n germany the tax rouls are changed every year and nobody knows all (exept those cracy people diciding these tax rouls). i would suggest to make some sort of a knowledge database to collect all these needs to consider theme while development. an i think the much more open solution for a pricing system that would perhaps be node based should be the goal. for instance i have several hundred products - but the most have the same price (they are produced on demand and are charged per squaremeter). so if my purchasing conditions change it is much work to change all prices per product. so a central pricing and taxing solution should be the goal. we should learn from the xt commerce project perhaps a bit (i don´t like xtc !). so i would be glad if a pricing and taxing solution would be raised on the development list a bit up as money is what commerce is build around.

folks - by the way you rock all as it is realy nice to have so much engaged people around!
