an article repository that anyone can contribute to?
Also, the board should be on the main page... Link everything else off of it. Or maybe the main page should be just a news page, where the webmaster and mods can post news and links to submitted articles and places of interest, and everything around that. The static front-end in place now doesn't really give a lot of information, and I think some people might be turned away by it instead of coming to these boards (unless we don't really want these people...)
