+1 on that, Drupal 6 is the way to go.
Further to that here's a look at the non-core modulse we have installed and
what's available for Drupal-6:
badbehavior - is at rc2 stage - http://drupal.org/project/badbehavior
codefilter - is available - http://drupal.org/project/codefilter
subscriptions - is at 6.x-1.0-beta2 stage -
http://drupal.org/project/subscriptions
trackback - is available - http://drupal.org/project/trackback
Might not want:
feedback - only 6.x-2.x-dev release available, major changes in
functionality, but drupal-6's built in contact form can also do the job of
the original feedback module (note: DELETE db tables etc for original
feedback, it's not upgradeable to this version)
http://drupal.org/project/feedback
Not available, but with possible replacements:
propstar - either upgrade ourselves or preferably replace with
votingapi/fivestar
fivestar has a 6.x release http://drupal.org/project/fivestar
votingapi is at 6.x-2.0-rc1 stage - http://drupal.org/project/votingapi
spam (includes spam_surbl) - not available http://drupal.org/project/spam
alternatives are:
> mollum - http://drupal.org/project/mollom though we might cross into the
'paid for' level of traffic, see http://mollom.com/pricing
> akismet - at beta stage, (unsuported?) http://drupal.org/project/akismet
> worst case use a captcha? http://drupal.org/project/recaptcha
Not available
queue - Allows content to be moderated by the community. I don't see any
replacement for this, how are we using it? Comment moderation is built in,
IIRC, flag might be useful http://drupal.org/project/flag_content any
suggestions?
No longer required:
excerpt - 6.x core now provides that functionality -
http://drupal.org/project/excerpt
I don't think there is anything here that is a show stopper.
