OSC upgrades over time ?

Greetings All !

 

I discovered OSC about 1.5 years ago, I'd say. I knew enough PHP to install it, install some modules, and customize it a bit. But I really didn't have enough time to devote to "staying on top of" OSC customizations and changes.

 

I posted in the forums about the idea of outsourcing my future OSC needs, so as to make a "standard customized version" that I would use for my hosting clients. Somebody responded and I worked with / paid that person for some customization work... and paid a small royalty each time I installed this "standard version" he made. He was going to continue working on OSC, and would migrate his changes over when a new major milestone came out.

 

Well, for the last half of last year, we lost touch. I didn't have very many customers wanting a cart installed.

 

However now, I'm thinking my few "old" customers who are using OSC are due for an upgrade to the latest milestone. Of course, I'd have to also update some of the add-on modules that we incorporated into it.

 

I say "I" because although my former contact's site still exists, I do not get any responses to email to him. So, I have lost contact with this person.

 

So, I have a bit of an upgrade task before me. And I'm busy-as-heck, so I'm not looking forward to doing this, especially when I know that in another year, I'm going to have to do the same thing.

 

My customers certainly aren't PHP-savvy enough to do it on their own.

 

So, all this said, I guess I'm wondering how some of you who've been running OSC on your customers' sites for years handle balancing upgrading your clients / improving OSC with the customers' needs for customization (and differing modules) ?

 

Thanks!
