Well, here's a little perspective from someone who has just started, not sure it'll be very useful though.
I looked at this part of the forum and became rather curious about the idea, it all seems very interesting, but for someone who hadn't heard about the project before there was no where I could go for a good, solid description and explanation. An introduction to the garden may be appropriate for newcomers or people that have not heard of the project or are uncertain of its aims. For example I still have no idea where it is located despite looking around for it :)
A second thought I had was that this could provide a good opportunity to integrate new players into the game. From what I understand a farm plot is 'rented' by a player and they get to keep the produce, however I wonder if it is feasible or in enough demand that it may be possible for a new player to garden on behalf of another player, essentially helping the newbie get familiar with the game as well as get help, or paid by, his 'employer'. Of course an 'employer' could possibly be the government of a single land or the like.
I hope some of my feedback may have some use, though I don't expect that it will really since I have had little contact with this project myself, but if I did provide anything useful then I am glad, if you're keeping this rolling by yourself you definately deserve the help! :)
