Drupal 7 Modules

Anyone who uses Drupal to actually do something useful will end up using a variety of modules.  Modules are used to extend the functionality of a web site any number of ways.  The ones I've tended to use include:

• auto_nodetitle
• autoassignrole 
• captcha 
• content_complete 
• content_profile 
• ctools 
• devel 
• masquerade 
• panels 
• rules 

So, I thought it would be interesting to go through these at this point and see how many are now Drupal 7 friendly.

• auto_nodetitle - Alpha
• autoassignrole - Dev
• captcha - Alpha
• content_complete - Dev
• content_profile - Not available.
• ctools - Alpha
• devel - Release 1.0
• masquerade - rc1
• panels - Alpha 2
• rules - Alpha 4

So there you have it.  Many of the modules I depend on are in-fact available but they are in Development or Alpha states.

My advice.  If you are new to Drupal and trying to build a useful web site, for the short term you should remain on Drupal 6.  If you don't and try to use Drupal 7 with common modules, you'll end up pulling your hair out trying to debug modules that work perfectly in Drupal 6 today.
