Delayed ownership - This module allows anonymous users to create content and to keep their authorship when logging in.

Architecture - The Architecture module provides reports documenting how your Drupal site is architected.

Passwordless - This module replaces the regular Drupal login form with a modification of the password-request form, to give the possibility to log in without using a password. Every time a user needs to log in, only the e-mail address is required.

Suggested Modules - Suggested Modules allows module maintainers to enter a ‘suggests’ property to their module info file, with a link to a relevant module project page. This is different than ‘required’ modules as this does not inhibit using a module, merely suggests to the user that there are compatible/complimenting modules they may be interested in grabbing.
