Subject: [Imc-drupal-dev] Indymedia.be redev: contrib modules

Hello,

We're starting with the redevelopment of our site. You can find a few 
first sketches here: http://dev.indymedia.be/sketch/.

I'm also sending a list of contrib modules (see attachment): this list 
is still only a draft, but I though I'd send it over. Feel free to 
comment on it.

see you soon,
- bruno

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Functionality that is needed, but for which we didn't decide yet what
 modules to use. For some of this we have no clear idea yet how to do it.

- Decent search/archive: archive page with views search (exposed
 filters + views fast search http://drupal.org/project/views_fastsearch).
 Perhaps we could use the core search for this as well, with the advanced
 search (heavily) themed.

- Photo slide show: we would like to have something Flickr-like
 (different sizes, thumbnails, easy gallery/slide show functionality,
 photographer's portfolio, etc.) Part of this will be done by imagecache. The
 discussion on http://groups.drupal.org/image is relevant. Other
 options/interesting: http://drupal.org/project/pictures,
 http://drupal.org/project/mmedia

- Media managment: http://drupal.org/project/asset,
 http://drupal.org/project/acidfree (last update: 08/2007 ?), 

- Seperate contact forms for different teams, groups: webforms
 (http://drupal.org/project/webform)? Contact forms
 (http://drupal.org/project/contact_forms)?

- Different subdomain for subsites. We should be able to add subdomains
 very quickly, and if we do, a new panel etc. should be created : eg.
 media.indymedia.be, culture.indymedia.be, ... We want to have a system
 of subsites (probably using Panels 2) that local groups can manage
 themselves.

- FAQ: http://drupal.org/project/faq looks promising (nice feature
 set), although we may opt to build a FAQ content type using CCK.

- Decent mailing list (Mailman) integration
 (http://drupal.org/project/mailman_manager ?).

- WYSIWYG editor: which one to choose ... Eg.
 http://www.civicactions.com/blog/nicedit_a_new_text_editor_for_drupal,
 http://jeffwhatcott.com/drupal/node/21, http://drupal.org/node/200332,
 http://drupal.org/node/208456
