* Glossary: Glossary helps newbies understand
jargon which always crops up when specialists talk about a topic. Doctors discuss CBC and EKG and CCs. Web developers keep talking about CSS, P2P, XSLT, etc. The glossary module scans posts for glossary terms (including synonyms). The glossary indicator is inserted after every found term, or term itself is turned into an indicator depending on site settings. By hovering over indicator, users may learn definition of that term. The glossary uses Drupal's built in taxonomy feature, so you can organize your terms in a Drupal vocabulary. This allows you to create hierarchical structures, synonyms and relations. Glossary terms are represented with taxonomy terms in glossary vocabulary. This module also works with nicelinks.module, which will give you pretty hover-over glossary term descriptions on reasonably modern browsers (while degrading properly on older ones). http://drupal.org/project/glossary
* Image: This module allow users with proper permissions to upload images into drupal. Thumbnails are created automaticaly. Images could be posted individualy to front page, included in stories or grouped in galleries. Galleries are either personal, i.e linked to a user, or global to drupal site. Admin could administer images and set various parameters such as, among others, maximum image size, permissions to access images or manipulate them. This module requires ImageMagick, GD or ImLib2. http://drupal.org/project/image
* Instant messenger: This is a small instant messenger module. It allows registered, active users to send short messenges to each other. The Instant Messages are sent via a messaging block that allows you to select user and then send a message to that user. The message appears at top of next page viewed by that user. http://drupal.org/node/14553
* paypal framework: Paypal IPN framework logging. This modules purpose is to remove alot of bloat from "paypal aware" modules I have seen contributed to CVS lately. This module handles filtering and high performance logging to a relational database so that other module developers can use this "in place" database to handle events, track payments, calculate totals, ship packages, and whatever else module developer can think of to do with data. The module comes with filters, 'Verification Queueing', and a few other neat features. If planning to write a module that will use PayPal's Instant payment notifications, then you might want to investigate this module before re-inventing wheel. http://drupal.org/project/paypal_framework
* Print Friendly Pages: Generate printer friendly pages for all node types. Features include ability to explicitly list all URL references made on page, custom stylesheet and HTML template and complete control of node elements that are visible when page is rendered. http://drupal.org/project/print
* webform: This module adds a webform nodetype to your Drupal site. A webform can be a questionnaires, contact or request form. These can be used by visitor to make contact or to enable a more complex survey that type polls enable. Submissions from a webform are saved in a database table and can optionaly also be mailed to an e-mail address upon submission. http://drupal.org/node/7404
