Exactly what modules are we using in 4.6 that wouldn't be available if we upgraded to 5.x or 6.x? And why does there have to be a major theme effort? Evidently everyone is content with the theme we have now, just port the thing over to whatever version of Drupal we upgrade to. If someone wants to redesign it, let that be a separate project.

We have a new theme.  It was the result of the re-design contest.  It
needs to be implemented for Drupal 5 which is now running on t.e.o.

The non-core modules that I believe we have are: badbehavior,
codefilter, excerpt, feedback, page, project, propstar, spam,
spam_surbl, story, trackback_blackhole.  Some of these seem to have
disappeared or have been integrated into the core.  I've added
codefilter, excerpt, feedback, and spam to t.e.o but didn't configure
them.  I had problems getting badbehavior working and so gave up on
it.  I'm not sure if we need or use the other ones.
