WeekendOfLibery IMHO should be the portal to the whole weekend and be an aggregator for the total subscribers for the various efforts for that weekend. It's primary role should be to help focus the grassroots organization but not act as a central point of control.
It should report people metrics like chowda and ronpaulgraphs is doing for the financials and perhaps a few other things but not host traditional content like dailypaul and the forums.
I shy away from having the sites providing more then just raw data because once the event kicks off it will get media scrutiny and we don't want to give them anything more then raw numbers so there is less to twist.
For me the nov5th worked because the site didn't try to be too much and was very effective in reporting the #'s and the feedburner thing was great to that effect. If weekend of liberty gets updates from teaparty07 and whatever the bill of rights events will be it should send out no more then 1 email a day as before. The 15th & 16th sites could be expanded to include links to grassroots stuff that pertain to the individual pushes but the primary liberty site will provides the "top down" info about # of people pledging and # of people rallying etc.
WeekendOfLibery (Total statistics of the two events, cold hard #'s about the both events)
-> Bill of Rights 15th (# of meetup groups rallying, individuals rallying, breakdown by state, events planned like yardsales[from another thread], etc)
-> teaparty07 16th (# of pledges, amount pledged, etc)
If someone wants to start another campaign for the two days they would just have to somehow get the statistics back up the weekend of liberty but will be free to start a whole "XXX for Liberty" type site and contribute to the main effort. The weekendofliberty site would provide visibility and metrics while the individual sites do the grassroots legwork.
P.S. I just reread what I wrote and I'm sorry for the authoritarian tone of the whole thing but I ain't going to rewrite it because my boss is already suspicious about my frantic 10 minutes of typing :( My $0.02 FRN anyway :D
