Ignite Gallery (With Slideshow)
This is a nice looking gallery with a lot of good features that I needed, particularly user image uploads, voting and comments. Unfortunately in the current version (2.1)there is no facility to moderate uploads or comments which is very risky so I am going to be using something else for my next project. The next version promises moderation so I hope to see this within the six month subscription period. I was also struck by the global parameters menu which looks almost identical to Phoca gallery - do these have common origins?

Automated cron backup thru email
This appears to be a very good solution, I like the fact that it operates at O/S level and is independent of the Joomla installation, but by using e-mail your site's contents could be exposed, this would be a problem if your database contained sensitive data (user details etc)

Acajoom
Acajoom meets most of my requirements for a news letter component. Integration with community builder is very good, all my community builder users appeared as potential list recipients. Backend admin is good but management of news letters through the front end is a little clunky and seems incomplete, (but maybe I haven't got it configured correctly.) It's great that people are willing to write and distribute software for free so it seems miserly complaining, but the paid for versions are disproportionately expensive.

Blogg-X
Updating a Jommla site is fine when you have a fast internet connection but if your only link to the outside world is a mobile phone with GPRS you're stuck. This application is the answer. Prepare your article off line and upload it in a flash. It's not yet perfect in that it lacks some functions that others have commented on (spell check would be good, I'd like to be able to change a few more of the publishing parameters and meta data) but when time is the issue you can probably manage without. The Blogg-x gives the impression of being well written and looks good to. Recommended.
