One (Module) List to Rule Them All

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

During drupalcon several of the business tracks returned to the same notion of maintaining a list of qualified contriuted modules.
So dear "I drupal for dollars" crowd...
The classics are obviously
1. cck
2. views
3. image field
4. imagecache
And then as requirements start to rise
5. og
6. workflow
7. relativity
8. voting-api (plus most frontends work fine)

So that was easy... but now what about the exotics? What do YOU always include in your projects and what should enter this "absolutly essential module list?"
best regards

ontop of some that you provided these are my 'required' modules:

  1. Themer
  2. Nodewords
  3. AutoSeo ( internal module not yet released )
  4. Helpers ( internal module with chain-able query objects etc )
  5. Pathauto
  6. Page_title ( this module is annoying at times... )
  7. Chart
  8. Token

That's a great post because (in my opinion) it underlines that we are not a monolithic group of users.
The list is very SEOy (although I use pathauto all the time and use the naming convention delivered through the url's sometime in my code (get the last entry and use it for something));
Maybe this means we need several lists geared towards the kind of site we're building or what capabilities we want to add on.
Basic + Social network + seo
Basic + groups + mapping
This might merge into the call for "recepies" butI'll write about that in a week or two - I'm already feeling I'm starting to spam the group.

Certainly. SEO/SEM is just a fairly large part of our offerings so we like to at least do basic SEO preparations for most sites.

I wrote a post about this for a meetup session I lead a while back, though my list is a little outdated. I almost always use (in addition to what has already been posted):

  • Panels 2
  • FeedAPI
  • BUEditor or (if my client forces me to) TinyMCE
  • Webform
  • Teleport (I used to use admin menu or simplemenu, but teleport is my new best friend)
  • Service Links
  • Node Queue
  • Devel
  • Update Status
  • Backup or Backup and Migrate
  • Autosave
  • Akismet
  • CAPTCHA

I also very often find myself needing flag content or moder8 fairly often.
