I don't currently have the content voting turned on, but it is possible to do.
There are over 120 packages that are possible to install. I have only taken about 30 of them. I would like to look at the amazon/powells package as well as some of the collaborative task packages. There is a project management package that I think could be helpfull for organizing events, but I am not sure we are ready for it. I think that having a tool like this which can be developed to facilitate activities is a good thing. I very much support you getting some kind of RSS feed for the Euglug site. If drupal is the easy way there, that works for me.
