I looked at the sample community and went: wow a village toolbox with no tools. I think you should spend more time thinking of tools for the community not just a message board and sending emails to people, something like ning does. This bring me to the question, if you want to build a community site how are going to be different from ning, collectiveX? Is it worth the effort of trying to compete with these guys?

My reasoning for building this was that our community had a need for an online presence, and none of the tools were quite right. The main differentiator come from the assumption that the community members are neighbours, often with a pre-existing relationship. The tool share and skill share start to leverage that.
