I'm investigating Drupal to see whether it is a suitable solution for my particular organisation. My question is about modules available.

I can see from playing with Drupal 6 that modules for polls and forums are part of the core installation. My organisations also requires search functionality within the site, wiki functionality, and calendar functionality.

I guess there are modules which provide this functionality but are they good robust modules and, if there are a few options, can you recommend the better in each of these three areas?

Many thanks. All help is much appreciated.

For wiki: http://drupal.org/project/wikitools
For calendar: http://drupal.org/project/event

For calendaring, another popular option is the date/calendar modules. The free chapter from "Using Drupal" describes how to use those modules to build an event calendar.

Thank you for helping me out with this.

The "Using Drupal" chapter mentioned by WorldFallz can be found at http://www.doitwithdrupal.com/files/u3/UsingDrupalch09.pdf [for anyone reading this thread at a later date and wondering the same thing]

For calendar functionality I like the combination of Content Construction Kit (CCK), data, calendar and views modules.

Of course there's always the option of just using Google calendar. All that's necessary is using a module that will take care of flash/java stuff, such as lightbox 2, and then copy/paste the code from Google calendar.
