It has been several major versions since I last used Drupal (early 4x, I believe) and I am uncertain if the functionality I'm looking to put into a new site is available in Drupal or not. I'd really like to put my effort into the overall system and not spend endless hours writing the entire framework from scratch. That was fun a decade ago, but I've been there and done that.
What I'm looking to do, among other things, is build a community around a certain type of topic. The fundamental service that the community will gather around is the creation of lists of items a member owns and all sorts of related attributes specific to each item in their list. I'd want them to be able to compare their lists to others. Perhaps have multiple lists per user. Allow them to add images to each item in their list...
I've paged through dozens of pages of plugins available for Drupal and, so far, have not found anything that sounds like it would accomplish this. Am I missing anything?

why not create a content type, and then create a view that takes the uid as an argument? Then each user can create a list, plus you can have interesting cross-list views!
