Hi Robert

I do like the idea of a using the wiki for all tutorials and documentation,
having a simpler system will make users more inclined to contribute
and correct information.

Then as you say, the main site can be a more polished portal for
downloads, forum, release news etc. Joomla should help make this
quite easy to keep updated from what I've been reading.

Linking of all the accounts sounds like a good feature too. I found these
regarding MediaWiki, Joomla and phpBB

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AuthJoomla

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PHPBB/Users_Integration

They seem to show it's doable but will probably require some work.

I'll keep reading up on this stuff, and think about layouts etc.

Cheers
Tom
