What the new TotSP is missing
1. The quotes thing (the Drupal quotes module is not 5.x compliant, at some point I will roll my own for this).
2. Menu item for viewing all content categories, flat view, rather than just as "tags" (which is also good and should remain).
3. Different news aggregator "view" that includes more categories and sources (but I purposely did not copy over all the TotSP sources, what we want the new one to be is just several categories and a few key feeds that everybody might be interested in, not custom ones - there are many other better feed readers for that "custom" thing, such as Google Reader - if you use Reader and want to me put your shared items on the penguin feed, let me know, I would be happy to [what you are interested in, and specifically "share" is actually far more interesting to me, personally, than a generic RSS feed - and we need more of these].)
4. Top recent content, and top all time content links. These are possible with the Drupal views module, I just have not enabled them yet because there is not enough log data on Drupal to make them meaningful yet - they will show up at some point.
5. An alternate comments view. Something that shows most active articles in different time ranges, like the old totsp. The "recent comments" view on Drup is helpful, but not enough. Not sure how to handle this yet.
OTHER IDEAS ANYONE? Anyone, anyone, Bueller?

It's there, but not working for some reason, and I did configure it in Drupal. I will check into this later.

Something is strange with the "Recent Comments" or "Chatter" stuff. Some comments from older stories do not show up there (will this one?). If they dont show there, I will never see them. We need to figure out how things get weighted there (I cannot find it in the admin) and even if we get that ironed out, we may still need some type of "comments" drill down viewer, like the old TotSP had.
I fixed the "recent
I fixed the "recent comments" query - some stuff was somehow missing from the drupal node_comment_statistics table (but mysteriously, not a lot of stuff, not like my update/import script screwed up). That gets the recent comments things back fully on line, but I still would like a comments drill down view, separate from recent comments.
Search indexing now working
Search indexing now working again. Woot.
Only took me half a day to chase down all the Drupal callbacks, into the various modules, in order to determine that DB issues (long story, related to me resetting the comment statistics, and a quirk in the way I originally imported TotSP conent into Drupal - for the record Drupal does not like it when the "changed" field of a piece of content, one that has never been changed, is 0, instead it likes it the same as "created").
The Search now also uses the Porter Stemmer module to make it smarter, the index is rebuilding and will take a few days to get to 100%.
Still need some kind of better "comment" view.
