The future is quite rosy for this little fella, as at the moment it is only in stage 2.

• Stage 1 - Simple RSS feed, suitable for people to track and watch your products
• Stage 2 - as 1, but the feed has the correct attributes for Froogle (Google Base), allowing you to upload directly into Google.
  
  In Development now
  
  
• Stage 3 - To be produced using the Google API, so it automatically uploads with no work from the administrator. You simply set it to auto and every preset time period, it will send the feed into Google Base.
• Stage 4 - To be able to define individual product requirements. So each product can be customised for Froogle.
• Stage 5 - To add extra fields for attributes like books and other products, such as ISBN numbers etc.
• We are at stage 2 at the moment (released 7th July 2007), and are already researching and working towards stage 3, but have no planned delivery date as yet.

Some parts of the later stages, especially 4 and 5, will probably require hacks into Virtuemart, but we haven't looked into this, as we want to see what happens with Virtuemart 1.1 and the next after that.
