Nice Article. For now, I can't judge about the LMS extension, because I did not make use of it (yet). Hopefully it will be updated and maintained in the future. BTW, wouldn't it make sense to release the component for free? The main idea behind it: Get a larger audience and user base. Pro and commercial could be all related modules and plugins etc. What do you think?
