- Exposure Modes (Auto, Manual, Program, AV, TV, Bulb, X (flash sync), etc )
- Exposure Triangle (shutter speed, aperture & ISO)

Not so main:
- Bodies (I was thinking it would be best just to wait for people that have specific questions and help them then, rather then writing a 25 page overview of camera bodies for them to read (Feel free to chime in on this though))
- Lenses (I was thinking along the same lines with lenses as the bodies. However we should have a section where it deals with lens technology (AF, Aperture, Macro, Filters, Hoods, etc))
- Software (We would like for there to be a section on software, but it would have to stay basic. It's hard when not everyone is using the same piece of software. So maybe, basic methods of the trade (croping, levels, sharpening, etc))
- Specific Tutorials (The mods and I are open to these, we would just like to see the "foundation" completed first.)
- Flashes (Basically the same as above)

It seems like this will mostly be done by you guys. I'm willing to help out with a part or two, so is Dragon & Jimmy and I'm sure some of the other mods wouldn't mind. Once a part is done I'm guessing us mods will have to review it first and then we'll throw it up.

I'm excited
Here's a thought... as a mod are you capable of creating threads that only the ones working on the project can view and post in? That way we could have an invisible thread for each topic and then try and put it all together.
