==== 1. What the site needs ====
* About The Forest - articles; about us w/ subarticles on WGs, facilities, etc
* News/blogs
* Event listings - what's happening; WGs, workshops, gallery related, movie/documentary, etc
* Images - of events and general forest shots
* Store - forest shop, forest music, etc
* News & events - categories, feeds, multi-user + ACL
* Events system (calendar for TK, etc) - ics/ical export/import
* phpBB integration? phpBB replacement?
* wiki or wiki-esq articles?
* e-commerce - for forest records and other sales
* gallery - ajax lightbox would be cool
* A site wide theme - can't really start on this until we select a CMS or are sure we're stucking with phpBB2 or moving to phpBB3
So, in a nutshell:
* news blog
* events
* e-commerce
* gallery
==== Inspiration for layout/design
* Melkweg Amsterdam - pretty events system
