Well, I think you misunderstood me. IMHO all those things (project, 
forum, workspace) are technically the same things, the only difference 
is that people coming from different backgrounds expect different 
labels to be able to understand what it can be used for.

I'm not sure that creating 1...n different links in the UI is a good 
solution to approach that issue. Eg this will raise the question in the 
user what type of object he should create (quite difficult to answer if 
they all do the same thing ;-)

The effort from the programming side isn't high (because those are the 
same things ;-)

Greets,
