Alan,

For sure a build thread to keep everyone informed and invite suggestions the build. If you run into a something that presents a more fundamental question or doesn't get answered in the build thread, by all means ask in the appropriate technical section.

If you are going to maintain a detailed build diary on a blog site, you might want to use a build thread to post major milestones and to reference back to your blog in addition to requesting guidance or commiseration ;-).
