First of all I'm sorry if this is in the wrong Forum. Please do not hesitate to relocate it if so.
I've been using Drupal and similar CMS for quite a while now.
Drupal is deffinately my favourite.
What I'm looking for now is to build a community with Drupal. I know Drupal is capable of somthing like that especialy with all it's modules.
But no matter what I try there are three things remainig which Drupal is lacking in module form which becomes more and more mandatory for any modern 2.0 online community.
First of all a module which enables nicely customized people search. So that you are able to find any person meeting certain criteria (age, gender, ethnicy ect).
Secondly a module which makes it possible to build a complete customized user homepage like Myspace, Blackplanet.com ect.
Third a module which enables a feature like the Meet me feature at tagged.com. One of the most impressive features I've seen with online communities since it brings the users back almost daily.

Here are some preliminary
Here are some preliminary ideas you might want to try:
Customized people search: the Views module
Customized user homepage: the MySite module, Advanced profile module
(Don;t know anything about tagged.com -- perhaps someone else?)
