I'm currently trying to make posts, and create some other stuff, but am running into roadblocks along the way. Drupal has a pretty good 'core' but extra things require installing extensions (called Modules). Here are the Modules that I plan to install, if there is something you would like to see added, or I am clearly missing something, please let me know.
Calendar: needs to be multiuser and possibly private, but accessible by authenticated users
File Management: Drupal lets you upload files but doesn't provide an interface to manage them. I'm looking at IMCE right now, and the additional module that bridges the WYSIWYG interface with it, so that files can be accessed in this here comment box.
Panels/Views: allows users to customize the block areas in Drupal. Going to need this to display the front page
Slideshow: not sure on this one yet, but I'm not dead set on my template that I created. We could put a big slideshow on front page if everyone things thats a better idea.
OpenLayers: this module enables us to create interactive maps and embed them within the site. I don't know much beyond that, and there are other modules that do mapping stuff.
Need to fix the width issue on the WYSIWYG editor, the comment box wants to be bigger than the alloted space.
More to come, please add any suggestions.
