Hi,
As to what fora to have, I'd say to go with the KISS principle and just set up the three (general, workshop, and bugs) at first. If, after the first wave of enthusiasm, any or all of them get overloaded so that a person checking once a day has to look at more than one page of threads per forum, then splitting them up finer might be indicated. And by observing the distribution of posts, you'll be able to tell what structure makes sense.
If you absolutely feel you must have another forum, then I would suggest a 'strategy and tactics' forum apart from the workshop. But even that could probably hold off for a while.
As to names, I suggest 'The Gnome's Lab' for the workshop. No idea (yet!) for the other two.
