Newest release of Community ACL:
One of the most sought after pieces of functionality missing in Joomla! is the ability to assign access levels and roles to your users. There have been other ACL components released in the past to fill this void, but since they hack the core of Joomla! to a point where it’s difficult to upgrade, many shy away from using them. With the new framework of Joomla! 1.5 we have been able to create a new Access Level Control component that does very little to the core (it only hacks the menu to hide items) and provides you the most powerful solution ever to date. Opening up Joomla! to new levels!
Visit the site today to see the latest and greatest of Community ACL!

Being active Joomla! developers, we use many products that are out on the market. We would like to share with you some of our favorites:
From JoomlaPraise – AdminPraise2
Get Ready to Enjoy Joomla! Although Joomla! is THE most capable Open Source CMS on the market, it gets a bad rap because the administrator site is confusing. We have solved this by using AdminPraise2 which combines various features and logical organization to help dissolve the Joomla! Administrator confusion. AdminPraise2 is great to use when developing a site that will be handed off to a client to administrate.
