This project is in early planning stages. Any help with planning would be greatly appreciated. I'm also open to co-maintainers.

The goal of this project is to create an "Out-of-the-Box" Drupal distro designed for church websites. In completing this goal, we will also create a number of Feature bundles which you can use to add features to pre-existing church websites.

Vote for Features

Currently Included in this Installation Profile:

• Core - Generic Configuration for Drupal Core
  • Content Types
    • Page, Story
  • Modules
  • Help, Menu, Taxonomy, Comment
• Extended Core
  • User-Experience Enhancements
    • Vertical Tabs, Admin,
  • SEO Modules
    • Global Redirect, Path Auto
  • Other Necessities
    • Token

Below is the outline for how I'm going to progress. I feel the best place to start is with polishing Drupal core to make it much friendlier to non-drupalers. Many of the modules I'm including are backports of patches made to Drupal 7 (i.e Vertical Tabs and Admin). Others are chosen because they are the most popular modules which help us make our Drupal distro a complete product rather than just a development platform.
