making a forum with extra user-entered fields - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

-

someone directed me joomla cms purposes. don't know if joomla has features need (or more accurately, ease of development/config features need) , don't quite know right terminology ask them.

what want build forum users add entries have specific metadata associated them.

some examples:
- weather observation forum, users on continent might add post of observations, , post have fields date of observation (different posting date), gps coords, state/prov/city, altitude, type of observation, etc. user can sort , filter on fields choose - might want show threads occur in city, or might want filter on partial gps coord. having separate fields make search criteria easier (i don;t want generic search text feature)
- photography forum, users post pictures , fill in fields such equipment, medium, subject, etc.

i'd few things, really:
1] i'd know how speak of this, that, succinctly, people know i'm asking for. (does know user metadata is?)
2] i'd know how effort id required in configuring joomla this. big deal? (i developer, hoping hit ground running speak)
3] i'd know if knows of (forgive me) more appropriate cms me closer goal less dev effort.


(p.s. in first 100 users wonder why 'joomla' isn't in spellcheck dictionary joomla's forum?)

oh dear, i'm beginning suspect joomla not best choice after all.
