Hi Bobby,
You may wish to consider a multiple ways to reach your participants. To encourage deep dialog, I would strongly recommend you look at a linear scrolling interface tool (Caucus, Prospero, Motet, Web Crossing) that constrains posts to conversations providing context. Notification tools are always handy (ICQ, AOL IM or one of the Third Party clones). E-mail is the basic connector and you will need a simple way to publish static documents with intuitive upload facilities. I have found the tool that works best is very dependent on the preferences of the core participants. Most groups prefer to start in a 'closed' space (moderated, password protected, invitation only) unless you have a way to invite new folks and induct them into the community you will have difficulty sustaining these closed containers. So there is no magic prescription here. Start by sounding out your core members, try introducing alternatives (but not all at once, otherwise you will loose critical mass). In the end you will find it is not the tools but the energy and the willingness of the participants to stick together that determines success.
