As a newbie to Drupal, you know what would help me? Purpose.

What I mean is that learning Drupal is cool, but learning it so that I can actually do something with it is even cooler. What I want to know is could someone come up with a few different types of sites and specifications so us new people can build those?

For instance, instead of just installing everything and figuring out what works, someone says:
"hey, build a social site with these features"
or
"build a site for a small school that needs these features"
or
you get the drift.

It would be nice if all the interns could write a couple paragraphs on themselves, what they then of the internship (till now) and on the drupal community

I would like to post this on www.drupal.in for others to see. Just to show others we are still active.
