Ubercart Disable Store - Turn off Ubercart based on certain conditions, like user role.

Wordpress XML for Feeds - Import your Wordpress WXR files with the Feeds module

Signature Field - Sweet! An HTML5 canvas-based signature CCK field. Works with the Webform module, as well.

Blue Masters - A beautiful theme. Not too many of these on drupal.org.

HeadJS - Speeds up the downloading of javascript on your site by allowing parallel downloads.

iTweak Links - Remove some node links, or turn them into dropdown menus.

Webform MySQL Views - This module creates MySQL views that flatten the data collected by the Webform module. If you've ever tried to extract Webform data from the database directly, you know what a nightmare it is. This is much needed.
