Here's my own rough sketch of Carrara "utopia" if it can help aid anyone in any way... I think this is just how I would build it, but I'm not actually going to build it. lol I barely have time to keep my own very spartan websites going... http://www.whitcombpalace.com/concept%20website.htm Ringo, everyone is clearly behind you on this endevour including myself. :) I still don't think this is something that you should bear the load on all by yourself and would ask the gods for some divine intervention if I knew how. I hope you accept and pursue at least some of the many offers to assist you in deployment and maintanance of a site. I will be the first one at the door to sign up, pay or not. I strongly agree with Vince and Nospam, no one man can build and maintain a rocket ship and maybe that's okay. It''s really a wonderful community we have here and the more participants the merrier as far as I'm concerned. Steven

My suggestion Ringo (or Steve or whomever), is to first layout a handful of categories intended to be fairly generic. Some categories I use regularly regardless of the community is "General", and "Watercooler" (the communities I set up are usually for businesses), along with 3-5 others covering "as broad a scope as possible" for each topic.
The goals of a good ontology is to have interaction in each area, but don't overwelm topics with other non-related topics. Some folks end up dividing up their community into so many forums that there's not enough activity in each forum to make the place seem busy. On the other hand, if it becomes difficult to find the topics that are of interest to a user, they might give up and go someplace else.
You can always add forums down the road if traffic is high, but it is difficult and disruptive to remove forums to pull people back together. My swag at a set of forums would be:
Members - General - Cafe - Gallery Products - Carrara - Amapi - Plugins - Other
