[wp-hackers] Seeking some advice

[Ozh]

Ola peeps

I'm about to migrate a site from an old dusty homemade perl solution to WP.
This site has:
- news & comments (ok, that's blogging)
- polls (ok, Democracy or Polldady or whatever)
- forums (ok, PunBB bridge already exists or won't be hard to code)
- "columns": (selected) users have a column of their own where they
can write about anything they'd like, and people can comment. Kind of
like a sideblog for registered users.

This last feature has got me perplex: what you guys think about the
best way to implement this in WP?

Cheers

Ozh
