This month's Python Magazine has a nice surprise for us: GetPaid all over the cover! Horacio (aka perrito666), who presented GetPaid at a free software conference in Argentina not too long ago also wrote an article which appears in this month's edition of Python Magazine and is featured prominently on the cover.

Building E-commerce on Plone with GetPaid, by Horacio Durán

E-commerce sites are easier to build than you think, especially using Plone and GetPaid. From small non-governmental organizations to independent professionals, many current Plone users would profit greatly from adding e-commerce abilities to their online presence. The task has been beyond the grasp of many otherwise competent website owners because of the complexity of the available solutions. No more: GetPaid can easily convert any Plone site into a complete e-commerce solution.

GetPaid's report at Ohloh has been updated to give stats on the project. We are now up to 14,937 lines of code. Other interesting factoids:

• 3 person-years worth of code (in about a year's time)
  
• 44 contributors
• 112 people following the mailing list
• 750+ downloads of the first release (plus many users with buildout)
• Over 170 downloads of the second release (only out for 2 weeks so far)
• 4 sprints
  

Thanks to Zea Partners for featuring the GetPaid project on its site!
