[quote]One of the issues that many of us hope and want for with regard to the development of these templates is the functionality factor - be it modules, components or plugins. While there are a good number of open source/free modules and components out there, there are a great many higher quality extensions that require a license fee. As we know . . . fees cost money, and template developers are not always in a position to incur the additional expense many of these components (in addition to other overhead and business expenses).

Therefore, a possible idea I had was a kind of [i]community effort[/i] and/or "pool" of sorts toward the purchase of developer licenses for the more quality components - toward the goal of TemplatePlazza integrating these functions into future templates. If enough people were interested and chose to contribute, the expense of the purchase of the relative license would be somewhat minimal (i.e. the power of numbers).

One of the first steps, of course, would be to identify which fee based extensions are most desired - i.e. JContentSubscriotion?, JReviews?, iJoomla?, Marketplace? Other PHP script to be converted into a Joomla component?, etc.

Of course, there would then need to be a separate account for such contributions so that the funds for such are specifically utilized for this purpose.

What do you think?

Is this kind of cumulative effort even possible?

Meisyal	Oh, Thomas ! In my think we must be careful to download or search commercial extensions. Like extensions joomla bug can hack site. Better buy extensions than free. But buy not means secure. Thank's for educate and informations. Best Regards
