Extra configuration with helper modules

The "author pane" panels content type will make use of these modules automatically:

Buddylist, Private Message, User Points, User Titles, User Badges, User Stats, Facebook-style Statuses

Other suggested modules:

• Automatic Nodetitles: If you don't want users titling their profiles, you can use this. If you do, you might want to change the title of the panel page to something static.
• Guestbook: Provides a more complex guestbook module than using the comment form on the profile node.
