Well I was hoping to take the easy way out and someone would have done it already. But I'm not averse to setting something up. I'd like an old school forum type thing - but then worry about spam and moderation. Still it is probably worth doing

I think it's a good idea to start with your old work friends. Having a closed community might feel great (vs open "Internet" community) but it worked pretty well for me. Plus, your friends will appreciate the setup too.
