8. About
8.1. The project
mambo-phpShop is an Open Source E-Commerce solution, which is based on a Shopping Cart Script called “phpShop” (originally developed by Edikon Corp. and the phpShop community (
http://www.phpshop.org).
mambo-phpShop is a separate Fork of the phpShop script. Now there are a lot of differences between the original phpShop™ and mambo-phpShop. They don't use the same code base.
mambo-phpShop is released under the GNU Public License, which means by the end, it free for download and use.
There's a small bunch of developers who help in pushing this Shopping Script towards professionality and usability. The author of this documentation is the Lead Developer...and having not much time besides Wife, Work & Studies.

8.3. The Documentation
Этот документ был создан в XMLMind XML Editor с использованием DocBook XML Format.
DocBook содержит набор элементов форматирования, удобных для разметки текста, так что этот текст может быть сохранен в нескольких разных форматах. Документы можно создавать в форматах: PDF, HTML, HTML Help (.chm файлы для справочной системы Windows), XML, RTF, TeX, WordML (Word 2003) и других. Автор этого документа создает документы для конечного пользователя при помощи eDE. Идея в том, чтобы сделать эту информацию доступной для максимально возможного числа людей. Digital information not stored properly tends to get lost. Due to the fact that not containing uncommon characters (such as binary formats) it's possible to index and search directly on the documents written on SGML and consequently on DocBook. The SGML systems use markups to make their description. DocBook holds over 300 markup elements each one with several attributes which can assume several values, these can be fixed or defined by the document / style that the author has used.
