Hiya Suzy,

Know what you mean. I think "needs some customization to really make it
sing" is very true and possibly an understatement. Just been reviewing lots
of the newer Drupal modules for community-building, there's certainly a lot
there with which to build foundations.

Good luck with the project.

Toodle Pip
