Little by little, the TAUG site is coming together. Drupal is a fairly convoluted piece of software, which by itself doesn't do a whole lot, so you have to wade through 1,000's of modules to add the functionality you'd think would be part of the core.
But that was my fault, I mistook it for a complete solution. It is more like Linux, Apache, and MySQL. It's the base from which you build your portal, not the portal itself.
