We're using this module on our website and we couldn't be happier with the results. The traffic increased on our website, the module is very comprehensive and easy to implement and use.
The support offered was simply A+, all our emails and questions have been answered promptly and the developer provided quick solutions to our needs.
We're looking forward to the final 1.5 native version of this great Joomla Module.

I like this component, it works straight and well. Just what i'm missing is the free definition of fields. There are several components (definitions, glossary,...) that could help in different tasks. With adding 1.5 and "define new fields" this "name meaning" could really go great for several applications.

This is a really great component. Even though it is called Beta it is rock solid. Usually it is the other way around. It is called stable and it is just full of bugs. This is not.
I find it very easy to use and maintain. Thanks to clever select lists in the administration it is very easy to select which names to edit or view.
Also the support is great. I asked the developer if is was possible to implement swedish characters in the Alpha index and 30 minutes later I got some new files to use. And it worked immidiately with the swedish characters. I can only reccomend the this extension.
