How do I enable the "extra" stuff in the OpenPublic distribution? OpenPublic is a Drupal distribution that is supposed to be for NGOs (and government).  I've downloaded and installed the distribution as a tarball from their site using the big download button.

The tarball is about twice the size of a basic Drupal 7.22 core tarball, so I assume there are some extra stuff included in this distribution.

However, after following the instructions for installation (they refer to the standard instructions for installing Drupal 7), I am looking at a completely plain vanilla Drupal 7 website.  No additional themes, no additional content types, no additional functionality.

I've been hunting high and low for documentation for what to do post-installation with this distribution and come up with nothing.

There is a support group for the distribution at groups.drupal.org, but it is not very responsive, for instance, this question was asked on Jan 18th, with no reply yet.

I am asking here, hoping that someone here is familiar with this distribution and can provide me with the recipe of how about to "unlock" whatever this distribution has to offer, or&mdash;even better&mdash;provide a link to the missing manual.
It sounds like you've just installed the wrong profile. At the first step of the installation you get a choice like



Once you choose OpenPublic and follow the installation through, you won't have a vanilla Drupal install any more. For example your home page looks like this:



Don't forget it's still in beta so you're likely to see warnings/notices around the place; I wouldn't recommend using it for a production site yet. It's also pretty sluggish compared to a normal Drupal install so make sure you profile it before deciding whether or not to use it.
