The more you try, the more you learn, especially in the World of XOOPS, (no pun intended).
For article Management, try soapbox and wf-sections.
For a photo gallery, try XOOPS gallery, or xcgallery
For a Calendar mod, tri iCal, or AgendaX
Guess what, I'm lazy too, so your going to have to go hunt down the rest. It will serve you well to look up what you need through the search feature here on the site. The forums are chock full of posts, in fact there are over 105,000 threads in this topic alone. A plethora of information awaits you at your finger tips, and it's free!
Suit up and dive in, you're in for a heck of a ride. I think you will find XOOPS very adaptable to all your needs and soon you will know more about the system then you can shake a stick at.
Good Luck, and welcome to the community!
