It would be great if the modules left and right on the
pages would in some way be 'context sensitive', for
example (if set up in that way) only showing certain
forum boxes when the forum pages are loaded etc.

Technical it would be quite easy : Each page would have
to have a 'context' identifier (for example 'forum') and
there should be a table with 'contexts', linked with a link
table to the modules, so it's a n-on-n relationship. When
a page is loaded, it should load the 'standard' and
the 'context' modules...

    It would be nice if you could add example(s) of this.
    Most of all, the contexts of different modules.

    Well, with regards to the context, it should be configurable,
    for example, in the 'standard' context, I would like to see
    some 'latest ...' boxes from several objects, but when clicking
    on for example the gallery link, I would see the several
    specific boxes for the galleries (latest, top 10, random image
    etc).

    It also makes Tiki more interesting for using it for 'custom
    applications', for example a helpdesk system or a webshop.
    When loading the application (let's say the helpdesk) instead
    of showing the 'standard' boxes, it could for example show
    the 10 newest calls, a box with a count of all the 'overdue'
    calls for that person etc... it even could be used to implement
    a 'submenu' structure in Tiki...
    If there are more questions, maybe it would be better, to
    send an email with more specific questions ?

    Greetings
