Launching my first open source project

Well, it's kind of official. This is a short post, but basically I'm launching my first open source endeavor. A subscription e-commerce module for drupal. Armed with my new "Pro Drupal Development" book, I'm ready to take on the world. This module will rock. I've already got the beginning's of it worked out. The idea stemmed here: http://drupal.org/node/237538 and now development is underway. Basically it's a simple concept. The admin sets up subscriptions and the user pays for subscriptions and is thus granted user role(s) for his subscription. I use authorize.net as the backend payment engine and I use a lot of existing drupal modules to enforce the business logic for the roles that are granted. Voila! It should be a lovely module that helps myself and others build subscription drupal sites. Not particularly pay for access to such and such site, but pay to post content on such and such a site. Sound good? Let me hear from ya!
