Plugin Include Component
No fuss, no bother, does what it says. I love plug-ins that do what they say without busting my brain cells. Yes!

Z Weather
Earlier versions used to be a little difficult to work with. Now, it's a breeze and works well with J1.5. The versatility is amazing without limiting ease of use. NB - we don't use the cron function. It would be nice to be able to do a truly horizontal display for those templates that have a header banner. Comes close, but not quite. ZWeather has come a long way in a year. Kudos to the developer.

CQI - CustomQuickIcons
One of the 5-6 extensions we install immediately on every joomla site. Just that good and a practical necessity if you have any normal clients who may need to use the admin functions.

Any plans to make it J1.5 compatible? Please, please? The component already installs fine on Khepri, but the module install seems to have a small bug. We need this on J1.5!

Kudos to the developer for a terrific contribution.

CiviCRM
The functionality is superb, the CivicCRM people are very nice, and they've got a great community. I positively ached for this application to work for us.

However, all those people who claimed they were able to install this on Joomla 1.0.X are blowing smoke. We are long-time Joomla integrators who have installed nearly 200 different extensions of every stripe, and this is the FIRST that simply doesn't install. We followed every step correctly (more than once) tried every variation of unpacking the install file from localhost, offline/ftp, etc. and nothing worked. Followed every suggestion of the CiviCRM boards (even the senior developers, who are all Drupal people BTW). Changed permissions in every possible combination, ensured no throttle on uploads, modified php.ini and htaccess for every conceivable suggestion. IT DOES NOT INSTALL completely, and if you believe otherwise, you will waste your time.

Sorry to report this, the demos and community are wonderful, but this is NOT a Joomla extension, and I ask any of those who gave this more than two stars to prove version 1.6.8217 installs on PHP 5.2 MySQL 5 on a Joomla 1.0.12 or 1.0.13. Unless you have a magic wand.

My sincere hope is that even one senior person in the CiviCRM community was familiar enough with Joomla to make a credible install procedure. When that happens, I'll come back and give it five stars.
