Hello.

I am using Drupal to try to get the people's opinion on the worlds top problems, I have setup a basic installation in a subdomain, but if the project grows enough I will get it its own house.

I have tried to keep it very simple so I am only using the most basic features, but I will add more if the project demands it.

Template: Framework without modifications, I only placed a banner at the top.

Core optional modules: v6.10 and latest versions for the rest of the modules.
Aggregator
Comment
Menu
OpenId
Profile
Taxonomy

Other:
Pathauto (+ Token)
Views

Voting:
Fivestar (+ Voting API)

Module Explanation:
- I am using aggregator because I will retrieve feeds from sponsoring websites and I use views to randomly display them in a block in the front page. (I am feeding from Drupal because they make the project possible after all)
- OpenID because the idea is not to force people to register, I am even letting people vote without an account.
- I am using profile because anyone who registers can submit a new global problem, and I am using the Author's Information block to promote this people, if they have a website or anything.
- I am using views to also display the issues in voting order (I have to create more views for this purpose)
- The core of all this is the voting system, I tooked Fivestar because it lets me set up a scale from one to ten in which people can choose the severity of each problem, establishing the final score as an average from all votes.

I hope that you like it and any feedback is more than welcome.

Regards,
Felipe
