Moocasa image viewer
This is a powerful extension!
It can show public OR hidden (didn't test private) Picasa galleries from the RSS URL provided by Picasa.

This is unusual in that most other tools won't show Picasa albums that are Hidden. A useful feature when you have many many albums but don't want to show them all when they view your public albums, and still show them in Joomla site.

PROBLEM
The only problem is that this is not very usable.
It requires a MENU LINK to each Picasa Album for it to work.

It would be much more useful is this were a plugin I could embed into any content item.
OR
A component that could let you build all these RSS links and then show them in the site as a group of albums to be clicked into.

Currently it requires pretty crazy building of menu items and then republishing these menus in a module, which is way too complex.

I work in a content-centric environment so adding albums directly to content via plugin {moocasa rss='http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/xxx/albumid/xxx?alt=rss&kind=photo&authkey=xxx=en_US'}
would be much more useful.
Owner's reply

Thank you for your comment.
We have released a plugin that should work as you expect.

KL-RSSFEED by corePHP
I love this plugin!
But installing it on a 158 site it's asking me to turn on legacy plugin.
This should work native according to the icons/writeup.

Content Submit
Good and simple component, does exactly what it says.
NOTE: It's a component but it has no Component Menu.
You have to create a MENU item and choose ContentSubmit choice, then choose a CATEGORY or SECTION

Plugin Googlemaps
When a component does something complex in a simple way, you just have to smile.
It does what you need, does it well and explains things well.
There are a lot of settings for granular control of how to display google's various map options.

Can't beat it.

This is saving me so much time!
It's very hard to convince non technical content managers to work inside of modules and then assign them all over the place. They get totally confused.

For typical marketing sites, this method allows you to instruct them to simply fill out section / cat descriptions which are more similar to content and then let them be sure it will appear in some consisten place in the template.

This is perfect, thank you!

This is very powerful tool for offering special pages to clients or to CMS administrators.
Put all your cpanel admin pages here, aggregate all applications related to the CMS here like dotproject, roundcube webmail, etc.

This goes a long way toward helping CMS administrators unify the digital world of the CMS community, whether it's commercial, NPO or personal.

You can associate your users with different custom login types (cpanel, roundcube, dotproject, wikis, etc.) and assign each user a unique pw to that application.

Some Issues:
Passwords stored in msyql as cleartext - not secure

The login options are somewhat confusing, documentation is limited, considering each application has its own settings and may be finicky about being wrapped in an iframe.

Some logins by Joomla user don't work, whereas if you hardcode the single-signon user/pw it does work. Needs a bit more work there.

With the new update, you can now use simple brackets [ and ] to contain a reference to another page [Joomla Extensions] or to a Shortlink [Google News]
It's so simple it's turning my sites into pseudo wikis without the hassle of another component or bridge.

Community Builder
I love this component, it's almost like a whole application unto itself. Use it in several community sites.

I love this extension, it's truly indispensable.
As your site grows in content, how can you manage all those internal references to existing pages!!?
{ln:calendar} {ln:register} etc. are so easy to use, it's almost like having wiki power in your site.

Of course if you have a lot of references to Wikipedia and many other external DBs like dictionaries, google etc., you can do all that here in a snap. Truly amazing
