I think you'll be very pleased with what Keel can do for you - sorry
about the bad timing of starting off just as we were completely re-doing
the build system! Things should get a bit smoother from here :-)

There's a app-fileservices example app that handles file uploads and
file manipulations on the filesystem, and a content service that manages
files in a CMS-like way. They may be useful pieces to look at as a first
pass?

A discussion forum would be an excellent, not to mention very useful
app. I'm not familiar with many that would make a suitable starting
point, other than ones I've used online that have good features.
