redSHOP is a commercial product too.
All modules for EasyBlog can be downloaded for free after registration - last topics, last comments & other.
Easy to get needed queries from it. If I ask 3rd developer to integrate EasyBlog support into News Show Pro GK4 - after next update all changes will be lost. Much better if support for EasyBlog will be in main release.
And think about activity in JomSocial user groups.
I'm gladly donate for this.
