Open Source eCommerce Evolved

Introducing Magento Connect


image

We are proud to announce Magento Connect (MC), a marketplace for the distribution of community and commercial Magento products and services. MC is expected soon after Magento’s production release in early 2008 and will offer the following:

  • Modules extending Magento’s functionality
  • Themes
  • Design Packages
  • 3rd party integrations
  • Language Packs / Locales
  • Installation Packages
  • Virtual Installation Images (pre-installed OS)
  • Job Board
  • (much much more…)

Magento Connect offers opportunities for 3rd party development firms and individuals to reach the Magento Community. We expect a large ecosystem to evolve to extend Magento’s core features.

Over the next few weeks we’ll begin sharing more specific information about our plans and our vision for making this the destination for the eCommerce community, including screenshots and screencasts of the contribution process (for both open source and commercial contributions). A forum is now available to discuss Magento Connect questions and topics.

We are excited about the potential and hope you’ll join us for the ride.

    I love it when you listen to what we say and that you just weeks later have systems for it up running! Great!

    This will be one of the ideas where we really put energy and pressure into ... because commercial products usually have a higher standard as “home-coded” stuff ... (not always but mostly wink )

    Therefore we are looking forward to provide our customers with the perfect version of magento

    Thx alot

    I am really excited to be among like-minded people in their search for a decent alternative to the ‘other’ shopping cart solutions out there.  I eagerly await new themes and other tweaks for Magento so I can tailor it to suit my business and style.

    All the best and keep it up!
