I had this idea that I want to try developing this site using as little modules as possible. Why? First, it is an interesting challenge to see how much you can actually do with drupal in its near pure state. Second, many modules pretty much replicate what you can do with drupal already. Sure, writing a module is fun, but it is just faster to add another taxonomy category and/or write a bit of php to add wanted functionality.

Hopefully this will make it easier to run updates to drupal core, since the number of dependencies are reduced.
