Help/Advise on starting a new community from scratch?

Hi Geoff,
That is a great use case for Discourse, yes. If you want some additional resources for choosing a platform (you’ll likely not get an objective opinion here) then check out The CMX Guide to Community Platforms, 2nd Edition [New Resource]

As far as starting from scratch/launching a community goes, you’ll find all the reading you ever need (and more) here: How To Build An Online Community: The Ultimate List Of Resources (2013) | FeverBee

If you have specific questions then drop them here and I’d be happy to help.

Also check out Justin’s new Knowledge Base theme component: Knowledge Base Theme Component That will help with ease of use when it comes to trawling through documentation.
