Release/Beta/Alpha Roadmap?

I'll stick a dev up now if you want :)

In terms of proper releases - we'll be releasing a product that uses this module by the end of May '11, which we're currently in the final stages of developing. Come June, I'll hopefully have more of a chance to add to commerce_subscription, and get a beta out. (We've currently got commerce_subscription and a glue module that'll be killed off over time, as we figure out what should be part of our platform-specific setup, and what should be in commerce_subscription).

A proper release will happen either once we've killed off the glue module, or when someone else manages to get a site working with commerce_subscription :)

If you grab the current git code / dev, and there's stuff that's missing or generally doesn't make sense, file an issue and I'll do what I can to help.

Any updates on this?

I'm mainly waiting for a bit of confirmation that the code's working for other people. The product I mentioned launched on June 1st, so we know that commerce_subscription works for us, but I'd like a bit of confirmation from other people that what's there is good before making a "real" release.

That said, if the dev-7.x label's putting people off using it, I may reconsider ;)

aristeides - Are you using it at all, or just curious?

@rupertj I'm in the middle of a project that will need this kind of functionality.
So far I just tried to use it for about 10-15 minutes, reviewed and applied 2 patches I found on the issues, I kept getting errors while enabling the module, gave up and continued to the next task of my project (time is REALLY pressing me...) with the hope of getting back to it sometime later tonight and giving it a more thorough look.

The other alternative I was thinking of, was this:
1. create a dummy product (called subscription)
2. assign a role to the user on the product checkout (using rules).
3. add some user points to the user on product checkout (using rules)
4. expire those points after a given period of time -say 6 months (using rules)
5. remove the assigned role when user points are 0 (using rules) so that after say 6 months the "subscription" will expire.

I will need this functionality and I'm just trying to figure out all my options while time is running out. :)

So far I couldn't review this module and I saw that your last release was 2 months ago, that's why I asked.

Subscribing

module seems to work perfectly fine....

Is there any details how to install it?
