What blocks do we want where? What should be in them?

Drupal offers a ton of flexibility. Just check out a few drupal based sites and it's obvious.

http://www.kfol.org
http://www.drupal.org :-)

Managing all this is more straightforward (for me) than moving around stuff on MediaWiki, but the tremendous flexibility raises problems by itself. What do we want? That's the biggest question.

Using the Views module, we can define our own blocks. I believe we can do a lot there fairly quickly. Using Site Building administration, we can move those blocks around on the pages pretty easily also.
