I think these are both fair criticisms and can only say that the main tasks planned are outlined on the about page, http://www.democracyclub.org.uk/aboutus/ under "What is the site actually for?"
"We're asking people to sign up to be constituency volunteers. Initially they will be asked to carry out volunteer tasks for both our friend at mySociety, and our friends who run the wonderful election leaflet website TheStraightChoice.org <http://www.thestraightchoice.org/>. What this means is putting yourself forward to help with tasks such as: * Helping to establish who is standing for election at the next general election in your constituency, so that we can tell the public about them, share that information with other websites, and gather information on their political views * Which local campaigns and issues need putting to candidates in order to have a clear record of candidates views on the issues that matter to local people * What election materials are being sent around, containing what promises and what accusations" So principally gathering basic information on candidates and submitting election materials to thestraightchoice.org. If you want to wait until the tasks are actually concrete before deciding whether to volunteer I think that's reasonable. We'll clarify this further on the front page, though, since it seems unclear.
