Great idea, but I have no idea how PHP etc. works.   :(

I mean, I understand in theory, but I've never tried programming with it.

Well, that's hardly an issue. There are dozens and dozens of free PHP scripts out there. The search for the perfect script might be a long one, though :).

Few wikis have forums implemented, but almost any wiki's layout can be edited to look like a "normal" website. Skinning wikis is usually much like skinning forums: you don't need to know the first thing about PHP.


The main reason to combine all of the current websites (forums, database, the actual website) is to ease the managing of the whole thing. Now, all of the sites have to be separately filled in with the latest news, and users have to register to each site. The current system, without a main website, is quite confusing (I suppose it's only a temporary solution). Took me a couple of days to figure out what the latest version was and if it was in heavy beta state (ie. not recommended for "normal" use) :).

If the webspace you bought has PHP-support, why not make the webpage a wiki?
The main areas could only be edited by the runners of the website.

Then there could be a help section (or maybe it should be called wiki section) to which "guests" are free to type their stuff.

Wiki of this type ought to have a website look/feel, rather than that of a wiki.

Hope you understood what I was trying to explain :). The decentralized website you're creating wouldn't be really practical, it'd be great to find a wiki with forums, but I suppose separate forums and website could be manageable with such a small community.
