Simple Lists is a pure Joomla!TM 1.5 component for displaying "lists". A list is handled as a category containing items. Each item is similar to a Joomla! article - it has a title, text and category-indication. But a SimpleLists item also has a picture and a destination link (URL).
The flexibility of SimpleLists lies within the parameters. For each element of an item (title, text, picture, URL) you can decide to turn it off or on.

Flexibility is key
The component is shipped with different views, allowing output in a simple table, output using div-tags, output for just the picture and some output using dynamic hover-effects. More views are added regularly.
