Today... I think I've managed to finalize the user roles and permissions for the BP community. I also got the hourly cron job installed so that Drupal time-based events and triggers will be executed. Finally, I got the site locked down against non-friendly web crawlers per Nic Ivy's recommendations from http://njivy.org/node/677 [1].
Next up to the plate are:
- Getting a handle on the taxonomy of the site
- Getting the forums up and running
- Testing the user permissions using some fictious role-based users
- Installation/configuration of the following plug-in modules: Attached Node, bookmarks, captcha, CSV-filter, Feedback, Glossary, Image, Image Filter, Image Assist, Notify, Print Friendly Pages, Quote, Title, Urlfilter, userposts
- Complete configuration of the Automember module
- Create a PayPal account for the site
Long term roadmap includes:
- Install/configure some common language translation modules to better server international vistors
- Install/configure Spam module
- Install/configure Side Content module
- Install/configure PayPal tip jar module
- Automatic news aggregation/publishing from RSS feeds of various prospect/TBL sites of related interest
- Research the Flexinode module to see if it makes sense to create a special content type for prospect profiles
- Getting the E-Commerce module installed/configured and the site store up and running
