Was this information Helpful?

Hi All,

I have decided to start a project to build a drupal distribution specifically for building and maintaining a paid subscription/membership site. If you are not familar with drupal distributions take a look at OpenAtrium or OpenPublish.

I am calling this project ubership, which was an attempt to combine the words "ubercart" and "membership".

It will be a free, opensource GPL project - since it will just be a collection of modules/theme/profiles hosted on drupal.org

The idea is to take modules like uc_recurring and uc_roles and provide a real working example of a site configured and setup to manage online paid recurring subscriptions.

At the moment there is nothing to download and play with but I am looking for your help, feedback and ideas to workout what this application should look like? So if this project interests you please following the twitter account or subscribe to the RSS feed as I will be asking for feedback. To kick this off there is a poll on the site asking what payment gateways you are most interested in for recurring subscription products...

I have put together a site to organise the development:
www.ubership.org

Regards
Chris

Best of luck! For what it's worth, the portmanteau didn't strike me as immediately obvious. When I saw the name, I thought you would be offering a shipping/fulfillment service tightly integrated with Ubercart.

yeah I was thinking that might be the case... but this is just for a bit of fun and to experiment with building and maintaining a distribution and that was the first name that came to me - so just went with it.

What happened with your project? I need something like your distribution for a project.
