The Kitchen Sink Approach

I took a break from writing up specs to indulge myself in going through the contrib modules to see what I might like to use. I set the filter to "all" and copied the links to anything that caught my eye. When I was done, I had roughly 300 modules! Of course, many of these do the same thing as others and some of them aren't maintained anymore. I spent some time organizing them by category but haven't further weeded them. I'm posting the list here for the curious and will post again once I've weeded it down.
