Top X Drupal Modules
As I mentioned at tonight's meeting, I've run across several lists of "top" modules for Drupal:
I combined the lists above with my own personal Top 10 list (CCK, Views, LDAP Integration, Update Status, Panels, TinyMCE, Path & Pathauto, Devel, Update Status, and Webform) and came up with the following Tip Top List (ordered by the number of "votes"):
7 Views
5 CCK
5 TinyMCE
4 Path & Pathauto
3 Simplenews
3 Update Status
2 Organic Groups
2 Akismet
2 Control Panel
2 Devel
2 Feedback
2 Panels
2 Printer Friendly Pages
2 XML Sitemap
It's not a very scientific assessment, but I hope it might help steer others in the right direction. So, what are your top 10?
Walt's Top Ten Contributed Modules
In no particular order... (drum roll please)
CCK
Views
Pathauto
XML Sitemap
Organic Groups
E-commerce
Print Friendly Pages
Poormanscron
TinyMCE
Simplenews
Update Status
OK, that's 11, but who's counting? ;) Actually, I've been informed that Update Status will be integrated into Drupal core, so I'm back to 10. :)

drupal coder needed
Hi Folks,
I just found out about this Austin Drupal user group today, and as luck would have it, there is a meeting tomorrow.
I am a coder as well, but not very familiar with Drupal. I have a project that I need to get done quickly, and after fishing around, Drupal does indeed sound like a good place to start (instead of starting with a fresh SVN!).
I would like to meet with a Drupal guru and bounce my requirements off them, see if they agree Drupal is a good platform for this task, and then discuss the best way to get the project done. We do have a budget although nothing exorbitant.
email be at aktxyz at_sign gmail.com if you'd like to get together before or after tomorrow's meeting.
-- Thanks, Andrew
I'll be there
Might even walk, so close it is.
I plan to come...
although my lovely wife won't be coming this week.
