Naturally, I have to answer Drupal. While it hasn't seen the level of activity a more targeted community service like Stack Exchange generates, Quora still generates a fair number of questions about Drupal and about CMSes and eCommerce in general.

Commerce Kickstart 2.0 is now available as a developer release on Drupal.org. We’ve been working since March on this completely new distribution and we're now asking you, the Commerce developer community, to help us add the final touches.
Commerce AutoSKU is a really useful tool for those Drupal Commerce users that don't need or don't care about generating their own SKU identifiers. This module uses the Drupal core capabilities to manage tokens and generate SKU for the products based in other product properties such as title, product id or any other token available in the product context. Additionally, the contributed Token module helps a lot with the selection of the pattern.
Commerce extra panes is a commerce contributed module that allows you to expose nodes in the checkout process of your site. Through an administrative interface, you can select the nodes you want to be in the checkout and then you'll have them available to select, drag and drop within the default checkout interface of Drupal Commerce. It also provides a submodule for Terms of Service that presents a checkbox so the user has to accept the purchase terms before proceeding with the next step of the purchase.
