I should mention what I did, though...

I decided to skip ahead and build the theme files, which blossomed out to include theme.php, header.php, bbp-inc.php, bbp-index.php, bbp-config.php (which is beginning to bloat), bbp.sql (which is *not*. Yet.) style.css, and theme.html (a test platform for the theme appearance built in dreamweaver... which I really should use more so I can build the style.css at the same time.)

The focus of the work thus far is building the main website table as a theme. Later I'll build the front end which handles the sessions and some of the pre-html and header stuff.
