Author List
Joomla lacks a way to show author info and a list of his/her articles. And this extension does it!

Very easy to use, neat, and east to install. This is a must have for any professional site that has more than one author contributing to it.

I have only two suggestions:
1. I hope there will be way to have an author box under the article showing the name, email, description, photo, and link to profile.
2. I also hope that authors are give the access on the front end to edit their data (at least the description).

I do hope this extension is maintained for the coming version of Joomla in the Future. Because I was using another extension(a commercial one!) for my 1.5 and I was shocked that they decided not to produce one for 2.5.

I was hesitant to use it, because it is a new extension, and I was worried that the producers might chance their mind and stop releasing updates. But I do urge them to do, because this really closes a big gap.

Keep up the good work!

Twitter Fan Page
I followed the instructions in the documentation, but it did not work.
It keeps showing a loading icon, but nothing happens.

I'm also not comfortable that a module that does not work knows my Twitter password, I'll change it!
Owner's reply

The module is now working and it has been integrated with Oauth .please find the complete demo here

jDownloads
A great extension. The only impediment for me to use it on my live sites is that I'm currently using Docman, and there is no plugin that will import my records and put them in JDownloads.

I hope something like that is done as soon as possible.

ContentStats
This is a little gem with a great effect.
I've been looking for something that will display the number of views (hits) each article on my website receives.

It does that, and it also show how many comments the article received.

Thanks for a job well done.

FBca
The component is good and has a good potential.
Problems:
- The documentation is outdated since facebook now has different fields that the ones in the tutorial. I had to figure things out myself. And I'm still unable to get the API. When I hover mu mouse, it tells me to check the site documentation, which says nothing on that!

- It keeps asking me to connect to facebook every time I login to my control panel, which is really tedious.


Suggestions:
- Add a way to notify the admin about new comments either via email or via facebook. Or at least add a tab in the front page of the control panel to show the latest comments

- Add a module (on the front-end) that lists the latest comments.

Exactly what I was looking for! I wish I had known about it much earlier.

The tackling of labels via labels.txt and having to upload it is somehow tedious. I hope there will be a future way to do that in the same screen while writing the article (maybe add something to the WYSIWYG editor that will facilitate that).

I highly highly recommend it.

Magnificent. It allows me to track who logged when and from what IP, both on the front abd backend.

The only drawback is that their website has no RSS or twitter or mailing list to alert me when there is a new version of the component.

I hope in future releases, that it reports any login attempts to the backend, regardless of the user. Because a hacker might change a normal account and make it super admin and logs on, and that account is not on the watch list.

Keep up the great work!

RSFirewall!
This is an amazing extension.
I had several hackings lately, and I had to move to a new host, and wanted something that will keep an eye on my site, and I was blessed to find RS Firewall.
It even notifies me when any admin logs in, and from what IP address.
The only thing I wish was that it allows me to prevent certain admins from accessing certain components. Because what it does currently that if you prevent access to a certain component, ypu prevent it from all including yourself, which is impractical.

But all in all, this component is a must-have.
