Notes from Forum/Wiki working group/charrette

Todd in Peterborough, NH posting notes from the forum/wiki working group brainstorming session and the subsequent charrette. The inquiry, in a few words: How should farm hackers structure their online community, it's forum, and its forthcoming wiki? What will be the scope of online discussion (and, by extension, what will be the scope of Farm Hack?)
