This is a site for a foreign exchange group in India. Three items made this site unique and required additional programming; article paging, a save without publish button, and the front page. It is currently under development and on my staging site until it is ready for full deployment.

The article paging was to allow for an article (page/story/book) to be divided into pages. When viewing an article it would be divided into pages and when editing an article it would only show that specific page.
The save without publish button would allow writers to save the article as a draft without manually altering the publishing options. It simply put another button at the bottom of the screen where the 'submit' and 'cancel' buttons are.
The front page is a summary of the contents showing the last three of the main content types (page, story, book) with a teaser and 9 more with just a title. Some of the content types also had items like the topic types available, latest book authors, the latest groups, and the latest group leaders.
So I created one module for article management, one patch (which will become part of the module soon), and one theme to display the summary as needed.
