I'm going to set up a review site for products, and would like to know if the drupal is a good match for what I'm doing.

The basic features I'd like are the following. Please let me know which ones are supported by Drupal or it's modules, and which aren't.

Hi,

I come from Mambo.

I want to know if there's any modules that look like the download and bookmark modules in mambo.

In Mambo, I can categorize and sub-categorize the download and the bookmarks.
Users can submit downloads and bookmarks or not. But the administrator has to validate them.

The downloads and bookmarks are visible for all and classed by category and subcategory.

If it's possible to restrict a category of download for a group, it's better.

Thanks for your responses.

Sorry to bother everyone again.
Have been looking at Drupal and getting more impressed, along with more confused as I try to relate it to others like Tikiwiki.
Have just looked at
http://www.electroniclife.org/
and liked the layout and the long list of modules used, but assuming these do not come in the basic package, wondering if there are people who can install these for a fee, probably along with the main Drupal site, as not too confident the Fantastico will be up-to-date.

No, I don't mean just a site that has a blog, and also has a forum....

I'd like to have a (one-person) blog with comments, with all the standard features of Drupals blogs. As it happens, I'd like to have the last few posts appear in full on the front page, regardless of length (as opposed to the more commercial format of displaying teasers or just the first 100 words etc). I've already found the appropriate settings for this, in a test installation.

I have looked at search engine friendly URL posts, but the notice on the main page has no link. Are SEF URLs automatic or does it have to be configured? On the demo at opensourcecms the URLs created had ? marks, so not SEF.

Are the auto-installs on fantastico always up-to-date? I have used this before, but they seem to be old releases (other software - not Drupal).

Any suggestions on good hosts? Silly question, but recommendations better than just guessing. Obviously a host that has some liking for this type of thing.

my client is a jeweler and mainly specializes in customer jewelry. i'm not charging him an outrageuos price. i've concluded that a cms type system might be ideal and suggested he write articles periodically so that the website can have better search engine rankings. do you think this is ideal for my client or should i just stick to plain old html. and build him a static page? i've wanted to simplify the task for him but i'm really concerned that he actually gets some unexpected clients from his site. any recommendations?
