I found myself wanting to stop and comment so many times on this post but I decided to instead read the entire thing first :)
To your point: We have to make a plug-n-play solution for those members with established communities. We dont need them to understand everything, we just have to make it easy. I am working on putting some things but I did want to add that I think having some people acting as liaison to community members could prove invaluable, especially at first. What they can do with a community token is awesome but if we leave it up to them they are going to get confused.
Having an advertising component would be awesome for this - again, a plug-n-play option for community leaders to further monetize their community and content.
I fully support discussions of reducing powerdown time and/or discussing the options you presenting, interesting topics that HAVE to be figured out!
