The Philly IMC is a good resource to ask about Drupal newswire stuff 
too.  At least a couple of the PhillyIMC's techies are on this list, 
but I could also pass along specific questions.

The last time I talked with them they were confident that all the 
stuff we want to do on the site can be done, at least in basic terms, 
in Drupal.  They've only done the newswire part though, so the other 
stuff would be uncharted territory.

My instinct is to set up the news and news main page first, then roll 
out the others once we establish a substantial amount of 
content.  Having a lot of amazing content on the site would make 
convincing organizations to join the networking section and add to 
knowledge base a whole lot easier.
