HI, I've been loosely involved in Île Sans Fil, a free wireless community group here in Montréal for a few years and just the few messages I've seen in this trend remind me of what happened there for years. As Nick's second message to the thread higlights, were are already diverging into multiple discussions and if we aren't careful it can quickly get worse and we all lose interest and/or run out of available time to deal with it.
What I would suggest is: - If the blog is on wordpress.com, switch it to our own install of WordPress on a shared host space. - Come up with a simple minimalistic design, something that's nice and clean but not too flashy or in too radical a design direction, so has to maximize our chances to agree on something. - Configure that new WordPress to have the blog on a subpage and a "static" frontpage. - Start wiki pages or Google docs to write up and collaborate on a few pages, Nick's outline is a very good start. - Once the design and new WordPress install are ready, integrate the content using WordPress pages. - That's it. Quick, rather painless and that way we don't mix up too many discussions about direction, features and semantics. I think such a site would be a big improvement on our first impression making and can super easily be edited if we want to keep fine tuning our content and the way we present the movement. In a phase 2, then, we can get into longer discussions about other features and more detailed content. I think something like Drupal could then be envisioned, with planet like aggregation, member profile, space profiles, mapping of spaces based on those profiles. (The member and places profiles can also serve for the visa program.)
