Great idea, but I have no idea how PHP etc. works. :(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 :).
I mean, I understand in theory, but I've never tried programming with it.
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) :).
