Blogging for Community Action Groups

My windmill post has gotten some attention as it contains some good comments pro and con on wind energy in general. I should have expected that, since readers would certainly care more about the general issue than about my backyard (or even the property value of my backyard).

I'm actually finding the organizational effort more interesting than the issue itself. This evening about 30 of us will be meeting and will probably formally form a community action group. I'm wondering, wouldn't a weblog be the perfect tool for such a fledgling group? I'll try to explain the concept to my neighbors the best I can. Do any of you know of basic user documention (as opposed to setup/admin documentation) for Movable Type in German?
