[Dave Reid](http://drupal.org/user/53892) is a prolific contributed module developer, and he talks about a number of the modules that he and [Palantir.net](https://www.palantir.net/) developed for Chicago's [Field Museum](http://fieldmuseum.org/) website, which recently launched on Drupal 7. Some of the modules that were ported to Drupal 7 include [Pathauto](http://drupal.org/project/pathauto) and [Token](http://drupal.org/project/token) as well as some new modules such as [Redirect,](http://drupal.org/project/Redirect) [Field injector,](http://drupal.org/project/field_injector) module, and the [Workbench](http://drupal.org/project/workbench) content management tool. Reid also discusses developing on Drupal 7 before it's official release, and some of the considerations and insights he gained from that experience. Finally, he describes his idea for a social bookmarking install profile called ["DrupMarks"](http://drupal.org/project/drupmarks) and gives some general tips for working with Drupal 7.
