am new to joomla and i wanna know what  k2 can do for me on a joomla site?

anybody?

K2 is the popular powerful content component for Joomla! with CCK-like features. It provides an out-of-the box integrated solution featuring rich content forms for items (think of Joomla! articles with additional fields for article images, videos, image galleries and attachments), nested-level categories, tags, comments, a system to extend the item base form with additional fields (similar to CCK for those acquainted with Drupal), a powerful plugin API to extend item, category and user forms, ACL, frontend editing, sub-templates and a lot more!

wow. i have been thinking of how to embed forms in joomla. can i do forms with k2?

Forms can be used for lots of things. K2 has its own user,comment, and front end editing forms.

I use Phil-Taylor's forms for other things. There are several other forms components also

pls is there any form component you can recommend?
