Hello Christina and Forum,
Well, since I am not very skilled in the teological and religious area, my sugestions are more about the aramaic language and history:
1) I think that Paul's Interlinear deserve more visibility.
2) A category, or thread, or topic, whatever, where we can post links, materials, books, articles, etc founded over the internet related to aramaic language, peshitta, etc. You know, just to keep in one place this kind of stuff, not spreaded over the forum. A categorization could be:
-> learn aramaic: grammars, lexicons, dictionaries, etc (there is a lot of free downloads at archive.org)
-> books in aramaic
-> bible study
-> manuscripts
-> syriac writers
-> church fathers
-> etc
3) A "who is who" in the aramaic culture (e.g. syriac writers).
4) A basic glossary.
5) Maybe more graphical stuff?? For example maps (a map of Middle East in the time of Jesus would be nice <!-- s
--><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->), artwork, iconography or symbols, etc.... related to aramaic language and culture.
That is what I can remember for now.
