A Guide to Building a Dynamic Online Community

Impressed with the fantastic job Hugh has done in creating http://www.harringayonline.com/, I am trying to build a similar online community for my local area. While doing this, I thought it might also be useful to have a wiki where:

1)     I can get advice on how best to go about doing this;

2)     Eventually others can have a user-created guide to how they might do the same thing.

So my plan is to share my ideas and issues here and hope others will build on them. So if you have any thoughts, please do edit these pages to add your suggestions or to comment on the suggestions of others.
