Magento 1.1 Production Release! (aka, more eCommerce blather)

I’ve been geekishly excited with anticipation for this day.  Magento 1.1.1 is finally available.  (this means digital downloads are now an option with Magento) I’ve narrowed the field of Open Source eCommerce solutions down to Magento and Ubercart (powered by Drupal).  Either of these look like they will suit our needs, and I’ve had some contact with an Ubercart developer who may be willing to jump on board and help us, but I’m still clinging to Magento’s VERY impressive admin panel.  Oh my.  Decisions, decisions.

    We’re taking a hard look at Magento as well and really liking what we see.

    We are now in the same position torn between UberCart or Magento. Do you (anybody?) have any advice now, eight months later? Cheers.

    We ended up deciding on Ubercart, and we are currently working with commerceguys.com to do some custom development with it. We’re excited to be able to contribute to the advancement of this open source project. You can look for the new site at wiredchurches.com sometime this summer.

    Thanks, Matt. Very nice site. It seems that you are happy with your choice and even proud of being part of UberCart community…:).
