Magento is coming

If you haven't heard of Magento yet, it's the new open source ecommerce platform that's going to blow ubercart and oscommerce out of the water! A stable version has not yet been released but yet their sourcecode has already been downloaded over 100,000 times. The stable 1.0 version is planned to be releaed in the first quarter of 08, so it won't be long until we see magento shops spawning allover the web. You can check out the demo here

Magento is also going to be integrated with Drupal...

It would be great if Magento and Drupal can be integrated beyond user sessions, and if their code is as good as the frontend I'm sure there are possibilities. Unfortunately they haven't published anything about drupal integration yet, as far as I know. I've seen their development team members post about drupal integration on sitepoint and their own site, and there is this:

This ad for a drupal developer is nearly a year old so I'm sure they got someone by now.

I'm planning to put some magento themes on this address in the near future: http://www.magentoclub.com.
