Read moreDocs events at Drupalcon
With Drupalcon coming up soon, (and thanks to the prompting of rfay on IRC) I wanted to start a thread to share some thoughts about what might be happening from a docs perspective.
The Drupalcon site is a little confusing because they talk about doc sprints on both Sunday and Thursday, (http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/drupal-sprints) but then on the same page it just shows one sprint on Thursday. So my first question, is there actually a docs sprint on Sunday? I'll be around on Sunday myself, so I'd be happy to participate if there's something happening.

The user module allows users to register, login, and log out. Users benefit from being able to sign on because it associates content they create with their account and allows various permissions to be set for their roles. The user module supports user roles which establish fine grained permissions allowing each role to do only what the administrator wants them to. Each user is assigned to one or more roles. By default there are two roles anonymous - a user who has not logged in, and authenticated a user who has signed up and who has been authorized.

The Trigger module provides the ability to trigger actions upon system events, such as when new content is added or when a user logs in.
The combination of actions and triggers can perform many useful tasks, such as e-mailing an administrator if a user account is deleted, or automatically unpublishing comments that contain certain words. By default, there are five "contexts" of events (Comments, Content, Cron, Taxonomy, and Users), but more may be added by additional modules.

The upload module allows users to upload files to the site. The ability to upload files is important for members of a community who want to share work. It is also useful to administrators who want to keep uploaded files connected to posts.
Users with the upload files permission can upload attachments to posts. Uploads may be enabled for specific content types on the content types settings page. Each user role can be customized to limit or control the file size of uploads, or the maximum dimension of image files.

The Update status module periodically checks for new versions of your site's software (including contributed modules and themes), and alerts you to available updates.
The report of available updates will alert you when new releases are available for download. You may configure options for update checking frequency and notifications at the Update status module settings page.

The taxonomy module allows you to categorize content using various systems of classification. Free-tagging vocabularies are created by users on the fly when they submit posts (as commonly found in blogs and social bookmarking applications). Controlled vocabularies allow for administrator-defined short lists of terms as well as complex hierarchies with multiple relationships between different terms. These methods can be applied to different content types and combined together to create a powerful and flexible method of classifying and presenting your content.
