Answer 1

I can just wish you good luck :)

Will you distribute component ?

Answer 2

I think it would be a much needed and popular Joomla component. Q&A is taking off these days in a big way and considering the popularity of Jooml CMS, this component would spread fast to many users.

maybe you should collaborate with gidgreen (Q2A admin) on this matter.

Answer 3

Hey Zizo have you done with the integration with Joomla? Would you please share it.

Answer 4

Opinion is: it's a great idea. Having the users with single sign on built into a component will help allot  particularly for adoption of those not so programmer savy on a Joomla platform.

Suggestions: One of the benefits of Joomla integration is the ability to extend the reputation component into other Joomla pages. For instance, people who comment on a blog post should be rewarded with reputation (for involvement and have a "read 25 blog posts" badge).

The reputation management system is critical for marketers because it identifies who is the most involved, in what way (through badges) and allows a marketer to specifically tag them with Google remarketing tags to advertise to them through the GDN or through YouTube's TrueView advertising platform.

I know that's a bit of a tangent, but I'm very keen to see this plugin developed.

Have you got a github URL? I may not be able to contribute, but I can try to offer support.

I'd love to see what you did to integrate Joomla with Q2A. I'm trying to do the same. You can see my results so far at http://www.question2answer.org/qa/20758/how-to-integrate-joomla-with-q2a-single-sign-on

Your input and experience would be much appreciated!
