I think it all boils down to what the owners of the board want it to be. Is it a place that encourages people to learn about and start doing home-brew renewable energy, or is it just a place for ten or twelve guys who have been at this for awhile to hang out and discuss the latest tweak they made to their system.
Either is fine, since they own the board. I, for one, have no use for the latter and wouldn't be welcome anyway.
