11 | published by Danny H. on Monday, December 28, 2009

After many months of developing LemonStand into a maturing and flexible eCommerce platform, we are finally able to announce a date for the open beta: January 11, 2010.

We know a lot of you have been patiently waiting for a chance to use LemonStand, so we are very excited to be giving you a firm release date. In two weeks you will be able to download LemonStand, install it, and begin getting familar with using it to build your eCommerce websites.

What you can expect in 2 weeks

Come January 11, you will be able to register for the open beta on our website. It will be a form that you fill out and submit to us. You will then automatically recieve an email back with a license key, and a link to download the installer. This will be everything you need to install LemonStand. Our current wiki will become public as well, giving you access to development documentation so you can dig into things.

After the beta

We do not have any specific timeline for how long the beta will last. We have a roadmap for things we need to complete before releasing version 1.0 of LemonStand, but the actual timeline depends on some variable factors. We are planning to focus on completing all of these tasks as quickly as possible while the open beta is running.

Once version 1.0 is released you will be able to upgrade your installations of LemonStand. You will just need to purchase a license and follow some simple actions to accomplish this. Along with releasing 1.0 will be launching other exciting things. Things like partner programs and the marketplace. We'll provide more details about those in the future.
