Good luck, seriously.

As a beard (long past the pfy stage, still have a ways to go till gray status) I understand the desire to avoid the type of basic shit that seems to show up in sysadmin communities now. Way too much "I'm the only IT guy so they gave me a fancy title, but I'm doing Tier 2 helpdesk work at best" flying around in the admin spaces lately. The non admin spaces are even worse, with regular "sky is falling" articles about Windows features that are disable-able with a single click in a top level settings menu.

That said, if the space gets popular, it's going to attract all types, including the newbies with inflated egos. Kind of a catch 22. You need it to be popular to attract any users, but you're trying to cater to a specific subset.

I'd start with filling out the community description/sidebar, myself. Beyond that, you've got a new subscriber here.
