Before you start

I'm debating using Drupal for a new client of mine who needs a redesign. On their current site, they have three main sections (Letters, Testimony, Legislative) that have a couple hundred "posts" each. I've been digging around through Drupal to see if it's right for them and can't figure out the best way to categorize this on the site. The ideal hierarchy would be Home>Letters>2009>List of Posts for 2009. Is there a way to backdate posts like how you can in Wordpress?

I am new to Drupal and have just started testing it out. I have previously had a blog with Wordpress but i wanted to move up to something more customizable, and hence Drupal. Well, here is what i plan to do:

Hello people,

I'm working on a amazon-like website. It's a local website with a database of writers. Each writer has a profile and clients can give ratings (with stars like on amazon) and comments on the writer's profile. People who rate don't have to log in. People who give comments need to log in.

Untill now I have got only experience with html. For this project I'm considering Drupal.

So my question: do You think Drupal is the right fit for this project?
Can you give me a starting point? Good templates for this purpose, ...?

Thanks a lot!

I'm a bit confused on how to word this myself, so I'll give my scenario and hopefully this will give you an idea of what I'm trying to accomplish... and maybe some feedback on possible solutions I can use.

I'm reviewing a property management site for a company that has 75 properties. Each property has one or more investors, who will log in monthly to download a PDF report for the property. The property management company, wants to be able to manage things in a central location and in bulk. Here are an example of the updates they want to perform from a management screen

1. Add a user to multiple properties.

2. Add a PDF report to each property, from one screen.

Using Drupal, I've built a custom content type called "Property" and used CCK to customize the fields to store the basic information I need for each Property. I enabled "File Attachments" on the content type to store files, but this does not allow me to provide a file description. I now have a working Property page that looks pretty good, except the file descriptions... but I'm clueless on where to go next!
