This is a work in progress. We do not expect this page to be complete until the end of July.
The idea, is that this will become a fully "linked" and "referenced" self-help worksheet for anyone interested in launching a successful Issues Forum in their own community. Each new group will set-up a copy of this page and enter the details/check off items as they are complete.
Please, feel free to offer edits, just understand that you are working on an early draft.
