Hi Everyone:

I've been asked to help out with the presentation for the January 2010 meeting, which looks like it will be focused on "must have" extensions for a Joomla Web site installation.  Now, I have my own set of favorite, must-have extensions, but I'm sure everyone else has theirs as well.

Use this discussion area to propose extensions we should highlight in the January presentation.  Here's a suggested format:

-- Name of Extension:
-- Developer's Web Site:
-- Free or Commercial?
-- Why is this extension a "Must Have" for any Joomla installation?

When considering suggestions, think about whether your proposed extension improves Joomla on a "system level" (i.e. things that every Web site must/should have, like security, file access, backup process, caching, etc.), or if the extension is more focused on adding features to the native Joomla feature set.

For the presentation, I'm thinking of focusing more on the former (system-level) extensions, since these are more likely to be needed for any Joomla installation, and there are so many worthwhile feature-extending ones, it would be tough to fairly cover them all.  (That being said, we could certainly still briefly touch on some of the class leaders that are commonly used.)

So, post away!  I look forward to your suggestions!
