Here are some of the Masters of Community Server. They have their own CS powered sites of course and they have excellent, valuable content for anyone interested in getting anything done with CS that isn't already done for you when you take it 'out of the box'.
Dave Stokes (davestokes.net) - Dave Stokes will show you exactly, and I do mean EXACTLY how to setup CS. He has step by step instructions on how to install CS on your server, dedicated server and so on. He is very thorough, includes step-by-step instructions with pictures and everything. His documents show you how to install a new installation or upgrade an existing installation. Thanks Dave for providing this!
Scott Water (scottwater.com) - Once you get your CS up and running, Scott is going to provide you with amazing add-ons so that you can do cool stuff with your Community Server. One example is: Enable people to post YouTube based videos with a simple tag they insert into a post. Get his CS Module Pack for CS 2.1 off of his website. Here are some of the things in it (Thanks Scott!)
- MetaBlogExtender - enables access to the full CS Blog Post API via the MetaBlogAPI
- LiveSearch - enables creating posts which act like live search
results. The search happens at render time enabling CS to always use
the most recent data and the current user's permissions.
- XHTML - attempts to convert any CS content to XHTML (actually just xml)
- ShareIt - see above
- Camtasia - enables adding Camtasia flash movies to posts[1]
- ModuleNotification - enables sending emails at key CS events
