What about the thought of implementing a bridge between an existing powerful CMS, such as Joomla, with X-cart? Something that would allow for single-sign on capability.. There is a developer on the joomla forums who is interested in developing such a bridge:
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=47123
It would make a lot of sense to build a bridge between the two since they are both established and supported web applications in their own respect. They would both be expandedable independently with their supported 3rd party add-ons (for x-cart) and open-source extensions (joomla) but still be linked (ie: being able to display products on joomla pages, linking to joomla articles and content sections from x-cart pages, etc.)
Any thoughts?
