When I was writing documentation, I made a different list. I looked at the module page from the perspective: "what features will help build community." i.e. relationships between data and between people
The list is on: Configure Drupal http://deanspace.org/node/view/67 I expect that this list, made in the wee hours, will probably be changed: blog comment - allows users to comment on nodes drupal - allows id transfer between sites help - might help the grandmas before coming to the help desk import - aggregation - though we're creating a supped up version, locale - enables translation (hope all of the developers are using the t function to allow this to work!) node - allows core content to be contributed page - same as above, probably only give permissions to administrators though ping - think trackback profile search statistics - to help admins story - user submission (we're going to have to explain the differen to people in laymens terms) taxonomy tracker - what better for community than to read one article, then click to find all the other stuff they've written recently? Forum should be added to this list along with an explanation of forum/mailing list issues. Not sure if book is essential unless we want to promote each site making it's own Campaign Diary - How Dean Won Lake County. I would hope that work like "How to Outreach Offline" et cetera would be centrally located so there aren't 5,000 versions for people to try to collect ideas from. ~Alison > > Excellent point Lynn.

And instead of saying 'Well, excuse me, you right-wing reactionary, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-education, anti-choice, pro-gun Leave it to Beaver trip back to the '50s'.
