[drupal-docs] Artist Config Specs for Drupal

[Farsheed]

Hello,

Liza, Kieran and I discussed earlier today about what
sort of drupal features/modules would make sense for
an "artist configuration" of Drupal/CS.  These modules
would  get turned on, in addition to other
customization, through a drupal installer process. 
Here is the result of our conversation:

"Portfolio/Artist" profile would include:

**SHOWCASING WORK
-Flexinode for unique content (song, video, flash
etc.)
-Image
-taxonomy to organize content, playlists, freetagging
-event/calendar, location
-artist portfolio for CV/history/resume info
(profile.module)
-ecommerce

**CONNECTING WITH THE WORLD
-survey/contact form
-forum/guestbook
-mass mailer
-contact
-contact manager
-trackbacks
-notification
-members
-foaf, aggregator
-buddylist

**NEWS AND JOURNAL ENTRIES
-blog
-htmlarea/tinymce

**CREATING COLLABORATIVE WORKS ONLINE
-book module
-workspace


Future concerns/thoughts:
better media management
better contact management
more "pre-customization", out-of-the-box functionality
networking tools (XML-RPC, CMR, etc.)
RSS feeds of everything
easier to mold themes, documented theme hacks
more tools for collaborating with others online

Please let us know if there is anything you think
could be useful for this configuration by posting to
the list.
