Add ideas !

a front page configurable to have
=========================

regular display of news or articles
blogs only : those blogs which bloggers have opted to put on first page
aggr of comments or scraps [ n numbers ] made in guestbooks

blogs :
============
allow user to have a header text/gif/jpg of fixed size
option to allow to publish to front page directly
blogger can determine whether this will be for all | herself | friends
blogger can determine how many topics in one page
an individual archive block while one is on the individual blogger's page

gallery :
============
by default each user have own gallery
with latest picture on profile page + link to more + total count of pictures
general site gallery as there is now which does / does not list individual galleries
each image can be sent as ecard / postcard plus link to webprint services

friends :
============
the current system is complicated - make it like this
A adds B as friend > B receives PM and or email > B approves >
B is shown as A's friend in friend list

profile
============
by default it shows
online or not
in a top bar - no. of friends | no of guestbook comments received | no. of pixes added

Hi,

I'm using Drupal for several years but could never figure out a sensible way for internal hyperlinking in my Drupal sites after setting up the modules "path" and "pathauto": As soon as I start using "real" URLs (semantic URLs which signify what the user can expect in the node), the Node ID becomes hidden for my users; the only way to display them is to edit the node. Since not every (anonymous) user has sufficient access rights to any node, even if the users would go such lenghts to identify the NID, they wouldn't succeed in many cases. All other methods for linking result in instable hyperlinks which tend to break over the time, since paths are modified or the pathauto config is changed. To make this even worse, neither Drupal nor any 3rd party module offers some kind of internal Link Management (e.g. link checking, like the new Plone offers).

I love Garland and its color picker. I also really admire newer themes such as LiteJazz, Light Fantastic, and others that provide a bevy of block locations such as three across the top, beneath the header but above the body.

How tough would it be to add such functionality to Garland itself? How non-trivial an undertaking is this? And is this something others besides me would appreciate?

I'm currently working on the investigation stage of a project that will be used by a number of charities. The basic requirements are going to require a portal of content management systems. There needs to be an overall administrative layer but the individual CMS instances need to be able to administer themselves too.

Are there any facilities or modules in Drupal that would allow for something like that? If so, is anyone actually using those facilities in production?
