Uploading has been completely revamped in 7.1, as well as the "timeline" and showing what you want on it.
When we finally get to 7.1, I think Rob will be able to "lay" the site out better.
I agree that we shouldn't go "all in" with the modules, and cleaning the menu up to be more intuitive.
With some simple changes to the home page to make it "look" engaging with posting of News, Articles, and Forums showing up to the guest, that makes me want to see more see more of a site..
