I'll keep a running to-do list here for the site admin.

Site launch tasks

Place all existing files into redirects using .htaccess or URL aliases at admin/build/path

Import all paid-up users using http://drupal.org/project/user_import

 
Post launch

Figure out how to put multiple images in a blog post.

• See http://drupal.org/node/71054
• Lullabot recommends, "Use ImageCache to resize images. It's worth the poor u.i. and configuration challenges. Tastes best with ImageField, CCK, and Views."

Configure method for recurring events (chapter meetings)

• CCK and Views tutorial
• Event vs. Date + Calendar
• Event module vs. Calendar module
• WebCalendar module?

Set up development environment to mirror prod

• Set up dev DB
• Copy prod files to dev location
• Configure subdomain "dev"

Install bio module, figure out how to undo Profile and Member pages

• http://drupal.org/project/bio
• http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/bio/README.txt?view=markup
• http://drupal.org/node/242511

Use Views Bookmarks to add new flags to nodes. Example: "Do not promote this blog to the main blog page" (for admin posts) http://drupal.org/node/49075

Improvements

Research & test performance, cache and throttle settings

SEO - research XML sitemap and ping modules. See Drupal SEO Series.

• Use Global Redirect to make sure home page is "/" and current page doesn't have an alias.

Taxonomy  module (categories) - define keywords, keeping search engine spiders in mind 

Integrate spel check into FCKEditor

• aspell or ispell
• http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x/Users_Guide/Other_Tasks/Spell_Checking#Spell_Check
• http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x/Users_Guide/Other_Tasks/Spell_Checking
• http://www.aspspellcheck.com/FCKEditor_ASP_Spellcheck_Plugin.asp

Research using SSL for login and registration pages

• Secure Pages - http://drupal.org/project/securepages
• Ensure user is running on a secure page when creating/editing content, viewing user details, or administering the site.

• 1.6 sec DNS lookup
• 2.1 sec user login
• 1.4 sec application server
• 2.4 sec database
• 3.4 sec 3rd party payment system
• 2.2 sec shipping server
