Hi [person].
The "group" is simply an email list not unlike law-courts or conlawprof. The
difference is that it has a discussion board and multiple distributors (google,
yahoo, etc.). As time goes by, it becomes easier to retrieve messages and join
a
topic all over again, because of the way topics become organized on the
discussion board. You also don't need to join anything, if you don't want to.
Some people may simply read it periodically. Others might read it and reply to
a
particular message (by sending off an email). It tries to be very flexible and
very public. Some people may join or participate anonymously (using a
false-name
email). This particular group (politicology) hasn't really started yet, and
probably won't until August. It will be slow at first. As more people join and
visit, there might be some interesting banter. I'm going to use the forum to
bounce ideas off of people -- ideas that will ultimately culminate in my next
project (after I finish my originalism book-draft).
So, consider the group to be nothing more than some ideas I'll throw out for
consumption, and for others to do the same thing.
I started a Wittgenstein group last summer. It was slow at first, but ended up
pretty good. I had a few professors anonymously participating and a lot of
students, grad students and other sorts of people. Based on the topics that we
discussed, the discussion board became populated pretty well:

The next step is to go from discussion board to wiki. But I don't have that
ready yet. Maybe next year.
Regards and thanks.
