I can not seem to dig up the articles, but I do recall alot of talk about integrating Magento with Drupal or vice-versa to at least some level. Anyone who has knowledge of plans or actions that will / have been taken towards this please feel free to post.

I am intrested in this topic as well.
You probably already know this node:

Also I have read at magentocommerce.com that something is planned in this direction.

I have quite along time ago but I could not find the post haha thanks.

I am surprised we have not heard any more news on this yet, I feel almost bad using Drupal e-commerce solutions when Magento is so polished, however then I feel bad not using Drupal for the flexibility and knowledge I already have with it, looking forward to seeing what they do.

I never seen this e-commerce before. Looks very nice. And integration with Drupal is a great idea.
But i briefly looked at their documentation and didn't find any topics about integration, API, etc...
Also i looked at the forum and found that topic http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/104/ .
Peoples are not optimistic about such integration there.

I think that such a integration is too difficult and planning it at this stage could bring only problems. We don’t know what changes in Magento core appear in next releases, so building integration now can be a waste of time.

If you think about it, Magento is in some sense a CMS already. Although as e-commerce software, its focus is on managing ‘product’ content.

While, for example, I can think of a lot of features that Drupal has that Magento doesn’t, a lot of the groundwork has already been laid. Trying to integrate 2 complex systems (such as Magento and Typo3 or Drupal) is a very difficult thing, that to my mind is a waste of time that will most likely have sub-standard results.

What CMS features are people looking for that Magento doesn’t have? Maybe it would be worth developing these features specifically for Magento.

as you can read here in the magento blog: http://www.magentocommerce.com/blog/comments/magento-drupal-integration-...

But it is vague so far where and how these two projects should connect.
