Modules
Contributed (contrib) modules are plugins for Drupal that extend, build or enhance Drupal core functionality. Use matching versions (modules released for Drupal 5.x will not work for Drupal 6.x). Contributed modules are not part of Drupal core releases and may or may not have optimized code/functionality. If a module solves your needs please consider joining forces and helping the maintainer. You can view module usage statistics for all modules to view the most popular modules used by the Drupal community.
Acquia Network Connector
The Acquia Network enhances the Drupal experience by providing the support and network services to operate a trouble-free Drupal website. Subscribers to the Acquia Network gain access to remote network services, documentation and the Acquia Network’s subscriber forums. Premium subscriptions provide web-based ticket management, as well as email and telephone support.
These modules allow you to connect any Drupal 6.x site to the Acquia Network. Acquia also has a distribution of Drupal called Acquia Drupal which is composed of purely open source GPL licensed components. If you are looking for a quick start with Drupal, Acquia Drupal might be of great use for you. (Note that a few Acquia Network services, such as the update notification and code modification detection services, currently only work with Acquia Drupal.)
#D7CX: The Acquia Network Connector will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 is released.

Add Another
Add Another displays a message after a user creates a node allowing them to make another node of the same type. You can control what roles see this feature, as well as what node types display the message.
Add Another is an attempt to check one of the items (#5 on my list actually) off the wish list on my blog. It was coded in about 30min, and adds a feature that's been bugging me for quite some time.
#D7CX: I pledge that this module will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 is released.
If you want to instead have a button on your node submit form to "submit and add another", check out the submit again module. There are some pitfalls to the submit again approach though. One, the user won't be able to see their published node before creating another. Also, if the user hits the wrong button, or decided to add another node later; they have to start the create content process from scratch. Both Submit Again and Add Another may be used together.

AddThis Button
Provides a addthis.com button to let your users share your content to social network sites.
What is AddThis?
Launched in September 2006, AddThis is the #1 bookmarking and sharing button on the Internet. AddThis has become the standard button for bookmarking and sharing. The AddThis button spreads your content across the Web by making it easier for your visitors to bookmark and share it with other people, again…and again…and again. This simple yet powerful button is very easy to install and provides valuable Analytics about the bookmarking and sharing activity of your users. AddThis helps your visitors create a buzz for your site and increase its popularity and ranking. (source: addthis.com)
Version 2.0 makes most features of the button fully configurable, creates AddThis block and makes visibility in node links configurable.
#D7CX: Addthis module will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 is released.

Administration menu
Administration menu module provides a theme-independent administration interface (aka. navigation
, back-end
) for Drupal. It's a helper for novice Drupal users coming from other CMS, a real time-saver for Drupal site administrators, and definitely a must for Drupal developers and site builders (keyword: Devel integration).
The module renders all administrative menu items below 'administer' in a clean, attractive and purely CSS-based menu at the top of your website. It contains not only regular menu items - local tasks are also included, giving you extremely fast access to any administrative resource and function your Drupal installation provides.
Drupal exposed! Administering, developing, and working with Drupal has never been that fast, easy and concise.
Showcase and Quality Assurance
- See a drilled-down Administration menu in action within various themes at the Administration menu showcase site.
- Also see a short demo reel (YouTube).

Administration theme
#D7CX: I pledge that Administration theme will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 is released.
Drupal allows you to define a different theme for administration pages (Administer -> Site configuration -> Administration theme). By default this only applies to pages with a path starting with 'admin' and content editing pages.
The Administration theme module allows you to use this theme on more pages like :
- batch processing pages
- devel node load and render pages
- coder code review pages
- pages you define yourself in the provided textarea
The Drupal 5 version adds the option "Use administration theme for content editing" available in Drupal 6 core.
Some of these options will only be available to you if they apply to your installation, i.e. you have the module installed which generates these pages.
Use default theme (not administration theme) for anonymous users on admin/*
This is possible using this module. See issue http://drupal.org/node/372156 for more details.
Module maintainers
You can add extra pages by implementing hook_admin_theme_options in a module.
For Drupal 7 the hooks are hook_admin_theme_info and hook_admin_theme_check
How can you get involved?

Ajax submit
#D7CX: Ajaxsubmit will not be upgraded to Drupal 7 as the core AJAX support now supplies most or all of what is needed, and Ctools will do anything that's missing.
Enables form submission and validation via AJAX.
Prior to Drupal 6, Ajax submit was part of the Javascript tools package.
Only install if required by another module.
Also check out the ajax module, which offers a similar API as well as a UI for designating forms to have Ajax submit handling.

Apache Solr Search Integration
Revolutionize your Drupal search experience
This module integrates Drupal with the Apache Solr search platform. Solr search can be used as a replacement for core content search and boasts both extra features and better performance. Among the extra features is the ability to have faceted search on facets ranging from content author to taxonomy to arbitrary CCK fields.
The module comes with schema.xml and solrconfig.xml files which must be used in your Solr installation in order to get the module to work correctly.
This module depends on the search framework in core. However, you may not want the core searches and only want Solr search. If that is the case, you want to use the Core Searches module in tandem with this module.
If you're looking for Solr PHP integration, this is possibly the best option available. This is also one of the best ways to achieve faceted search. In addition, since you can shift the load of searches from PHP+SQL to a totally separate server, using Solr can help to scale Drupal for large, high-traffic sites.
