Details of extensions that are listed in JED are submitted and maintained by the
extension owner or developer. A listed extension can include a category, name,
description, homepage, image, license, version, download link, demonstration link,
developers name, email address, and Joomla! version compatibility information.

JED is the normal place where administrators look for extensions for their Joomla!
installation. Before we create new extensions it is good practice to investigate any
similar existing extensions; JED is the perfect place to begin. If we intend to make an
extension publicly available JED is one of the best places to advertise an extension.
Another invaluable resource is the developers' forge: http://www.joomlacode.org.
This official site is used to host open-source Joomla! projects. It provides third-party
open-source Joomla! developers with free access to useful project development tools.
This list details some of the tools with which JoomlaCode.org provides us:

If we intend to create an open-source Joomla! project, it is advisable to consider using
