Other than being a safe refuge, what will we do here?
Will it be like the old ACTIVIST page?
Will we post polls to DU or LTTE to comment on and maybe enhance?
Let people know OCCUPY actions to support?
= new reply since forum marked as read
...is not not mirror the "Activist Headquarters" group entirely, by having a focus on Occupy, but yes, a broad range of discussion of issues, actions that can be taken both online and offline, and so forth is certainly welcome. The group is not just limited to Occupy actions, but to issues that prompted Occupy in the first place. Hope that was helpful. I think that's probably what most others are imagining too.
in it like you're a puppy dog and this is fresh cut grass! 
and Hate DU3, but have a common place to go on DU3-
So ironically it's a DU3 group for DU2'ers who hate DU3 
Plus, you get to post videos and can see edits and have juries and all other kind of coolness 
Time for Party, time for some X
For propagating memetic artwork.
Slogans such as "The 99%" and "Occupy", while effectively crowd-sourced, did not come out of a vacuum... they were the result of clever Twitter and (online) poster-making campaigns... The key would be to figure out if it was just a miniature DUzy thread, though, or whether folks would actually attempt to spread stuff around (political posters submitted) if it was popular on an art thread here. 
I've seen so much great art and sloganeering that never made it off DU.
Also keeping in mind the fact that Occupy is not about voting but about street change so is not a partisan movement, this will help address the issue of criticism during an election year. Occupy Underground group is for the DU community, not an "organized Democratic group attempting to co-opt the Occupy label" so it's in keeping with the Occupy ethos that we're not targeting specific candidates for criticism when the whole system is broken and focusing on the horse race comes at a price. Folks will hopefully be aware that there's tons of Occupy supporters and supporters of fundamental change that have come thru DU over the past year and hence the site's name
And that is -- if Occupy's news and activities get isolated or shunted to this forum, it will accomplish LESS than if you didn't have a group or forum (whichever this is). Does that make sense? I'd like to make sure EVERYONE on DU sees all the latest about Occupy, especially since there isn't unversal "understanding" or support for it. So, I'd suggest being very careful that we not isolate ourselves or the news about Occupy.
That said, I'm all in! 
And thereby feed back into physical Occupy through participation.
We can figure out the details once we've given folks a chance to review and edit the hosting guidelines.
In GA fashion, we'll probably do a two-phase process for the hosting guidelines thisweek, if ellison's comments are any guide:
1. Wikipedia-style discussion of the full and redacted drafts of the proposed guidelines. I will probably need to post the OP since I have the formatted copy of the DU2 produced version, and I promised Ellisonz I'd read his most recent draft. Elisonz offered to facilitate the discussion of the hosting guidelines, though, since he's abstaining from serving as a host, and it can be done here (of course)
2. Mic Check poll threads on occu~du2 with links posted here to utilize the poll feature, if people want to do polling consensus. This would also help fill in people who read there on what's goin' on.
(This would all be just to get the hosting guidelines put in place)
Ellisonz suggested we refrain from nominating co-hosts and such until that discussion is taken care of 
I was just thinking that we gotta get out there and protest. I haven't done it in awhile. We gotta take it to the man!
