I know nothing about mm_forum but if you are talking about a wizard, 
this could be possible.

So you want a list module which shows a calendar and every day with an 
entry should be linked or so?

this could be done completly within the view with some additional 
viewHelpers. EXT:news doesn't provide that currently.

for sure a nice feature. tt_news got such a backend module and this 
could of course also be nice for ext:news, not yet there.

if you mean images in the RTE: this is just a configuration of the RTE 
with tsconfig.

this is a general problem of IRRE but I guess I can change configuration 
that last one stays open.

you mean on the same page? if you set hideFileTable in extension 
manager's settings, all those additional tables are not shown.

sure! you just need to click the preview checkbox in the media element. 
It doens't need to be the first in the list.

settings.displayDummyIfNoMedia = 1

haven't thought about that yet but you will need a viewhelper which will 
get you the images out of the content element.
