Ultimate skype
Download, install via extension installer, access through module manager, enter your Skype name and publish to a valid template position. Works as advertised and it's attractive, to boot. Worth the micro-sized price.

Disable Core Registration
Thanks to schandiwe for the notice of how to ensure SEF URLS, and to the coders of this marvelous little plugin. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. Regardless of whether you try to force the core registration page to load using index.php?option=com_registration or index.php?option=com_registration&task=register, the CB registration page comes up instead. Nice touch to have the ability to add a "blurb" at the top of the page, as well. Thanks so much!

Feed2Post
I cannot tell you how happy I am to see this component! This is fast becoming what FeedGator wanted to be when it grew up, which never happened as it was abandoned by its developer. The ability to filter (and negative-filter) is brilliant. Time will tell if it continually downloads articles that have previously been retrieved.

Well begun project! Works straight out of the box and hopefully the dev team will continue to improve it. Will forwarded feature requests as soon as they give us some means of posting feedback. [hint hint] A forum please?

Love it so much I signed up as a "Gold" sponsor. Thank you!

Excellent work on this slideshow. Installed clean as a whistle and was a breeze to figure out the captions and transitions. I am happy to report that as of April 10, 08 this module plays nicely with IE7. I have it on a 1.0.15 site and it performs marvelously. Thank you for a first-rate module.

Table Boss
TableBoss is incredibly clever, tremendously easy to use and visually stunning. If you are a developer and have trouble making sales for whatever reason - you might consider the restaurant niche. Why? Because all you have to do is demo this impressive reservation system's easy user interface and it will make the sale for you! No multi-screen progression, no long load-time to get to the next step... it's all smooth, seamless and so so easy. I haven't been this impressed with a user interface or front-end user experience ever, in or outside of the Joomla community.

Restaurant managers want one thing: to fill as many tables as possible as many times as they can, every day and every night. They want to make it easy for people to set a reservation and be done. The easier this process is for the guest, the more likely the guest will be to make that reservation. Introduce your restaurant clients to TableBoss. A website with this component enables a restaurant owner to take reservations from anybody, not just a "member" of their Joomla-based site, and the experience could not be more pleasant.

Best yet, the restaurant's host/ess works from the front end of the Joomla site, which means s/he can drive the entire day's seating visually with this solution. When reserved, each table's image changes color. This makes it easy to see when you've got more people seated in one wait person's area than another, for instance.

Best yet, the company does this and only this - and they are accessible every day. They're aware that you sometimes don't have the ability to stop what you're doing and make a phone call to get help. So they've programmed a quick key combination that brings up a context-sensitive help applet. The applet retrieves the latest help and information from the TableBoss team as the product is developed. It just couldn't be easier.

Seriously - show this to a restaurant owner who has a web site (or wants one) and who wants to increase revenues by taking reservations. Make sure the host or hostess is watching. Then watch their eyes bug out of their heads and see how fast they sign up.

I can't imagine how this component could be better done! Highest recommendation.

LinX
A living, breathing project with what appears to be an active developer. This components has so much potential and I'm extremely glad I installed it. Will become more involved as time allows, but for now I'm thrilled.
