    We´ve also tested the new beta of magento. You can see that the official release is near…. Really nice features and a lot of bug-fixes. I´m sure that a lot of people around the world are waiting for the official release of magento (including me). More than 200.000 beta-downloads are really a blast. Keep on rocking - magento!

    By the way - nice claim of your blog (especially the last part): web-development, new media observation and general life stuff :-)

    BTW, a little bird tells me there’s at least one Magento develpment book on the way (not by me) but watch this blog for an announcement when it’s out!
