@woodworker - what is the goal pursued with it?
ClassicPress isn’t based on html and css.
It’s based on php mostly, and hasn’t any addons.
eCommerce would be added using something like classic commerce plugin and is not within the scope of the CMS itself
Indeed we do pursue a light CMS, however this is done by taking particular actions such as not adding (unnecessary) new bloat (which for example eCommerce would be if in core), and eventually removing some of the core features and putting them in so called “core plugins” (a plan that hasn’t yet really seen the light of day, but is certainly something we want to do in future)
I think pretty much everyone working on ClassicPress agrees with this.
Still, this is an ongoing task, rather than a definite goal that we can achieve one day and say “it’s done”. So I think we can close this as “accepted”.
