Personally I don't think Wordpress is what you need, if you intend to
run Forums/Community builders/Calendars/Events etc you'll need Joomla,
Drupal Blah blah blah. While you can create 'links' to standalone
features like Gallery2 you'd be better off having a proper cms (Content
Management System) rather than say;
/wordpress
---------------/Gallery
-------------------------/Forum
That could end up a lotta storage and a '/path nightmare'
Having said that I hate Forums so wouldn't join one if we had one I much
prefer mailing lists anyway.
Just some thoughts from experience, chuck em on the fire if you like :-)

I'm thinking that we need something that allows members to be interactive
with the site (publish articles etc), I'm guess wordpress isn't going to
offer that, which is why I originally went with e107 (before anyone says
anything, I know it's not really been used!).
I've not had any experience setting up Joomla, so help would be
appreciated, if that is the route we want to go down (which sounds like it
may be).
Anyone got any issues if we loose the forum board stuff? (I think I've
already asked this, but while people are in the mood for change, I'll jump
in again :o) )
