Background

Since 2005 I support with db8.nl companies with Joomla websites. When developing websites for customers I always have to do the same things to configure and optimize the website before putting it live. The awesome Live Checklist created by Rene Kreijveld has proven to be a great tool to keep track of everything that you have to do. It's a list of things you have to do to configure and optimize your Joomla website.

However, the list is an offline one that you can use next to your computer. What if such a list would be inside the website you were developing? I decided to develop this extension to have such a checklist tool within the website that is under development. Website developers can add their own checklist or Generate a default Live Checklist.

db8 Site Dev v0.9.3 consists of an Admin Component and Admin Module and is available with the following language packs:
- en-GB (UK English)
- da-DK (Danish)
- de-DE (German)
- fr-FR (French)
- nl-NL (Dutch).

It works as expected.
Ease of use
Seems easy to use
Documentation
Documentation ok. NB the download link is only for the component. If you want the module you need to get it from github
I used this to: Keeping a record of components and modules installed and settings, modifications and overrides used. Both for a record within the site and also to migrate to other new sites. Simple and effective. Once a site is live you probably don't need the module as all will be checked.

Handy tool during website development
