Its been a while since I have done drupal stuff... but I am about to do a new one today. So I am going to list out my requirements, and the modules I plan to use. Perhaps someone can look them over and tell me if there is a better solution.
1... http://drupal.org/project/auto_nodetitle
There are a couple of fields that in the nodes that will never change. INfact the Node Title, is a concatination of these fields.
2... The mandatory fields. Which module will prevent specific fields from ever being modified by specific roles.
3... I want run a search based on these specific Fields. These fields would be drop down's from taxonomy.
I believe that this is a views module.. forget which one.
4... I am looking for a combination of a image/tax term. So, select option one.. you get an option 1 graphic. Option 2 is a separate graphic. To RESTATE. There are some markers that That I want to include on the nodes. About 6 of them. SO I was looking for something Taxonomy related, that displays an image based on the tax term.
5... I don't think this exists, so I may have to create a custom module. But I want to create a slide show inside of a frame. But I want to make this a module, and not something in the theme.
6... I am actually doing iphone and android stuff... so I was planning on creating a JSON feed to update my phones from this data. SHould I still be using Services? Any articles, tips, modules I should be looking at?
7... I will be populating the site from a spread sheet, where I can polish up the data base first. Should I still be using Feeds to do the import, or is there a better solution now? Comments please.
8... A screen formatting solution. I would do template files, but my client may want to tweek some of the layout. Ideally something that allows for drag and drop the fields around the screen.
anyway, if people could comment, I would really appreciate it.

2) Field Permissions
3) Not a module, its exposed filters in views
4) No idea what you are after
5) Views slide show module (there are others)
4) You can add an image field
4) You can add an image field to a particular vocabulary and use the manage display tab to have it show the image.
8) None that I am aware of, at least none that are really meant to be client facing (unless they are a admin)
