Where can I put posts relating to sensor technologies, so we can record and collect scientific data? This is also including medical scanners, including that new NASA tricorder-type project.

I would say medical scanners belong pretty squarely in the Life Support Workgroup.

As for scientific sensors, well, what did you have in mind?  Are these sensors for use on the lunar service?  If so I suppose Spacecraft Engineering needs to know about them so that their size, mass and power requirements can be factored into the lander's design.

Main CLLARE workgroups: Mission Planning, Navigation and Guidance. I do maths, physics, C, Python and Java.

This is a good thing to bring up. At the moment we don't really have a section dedicated to specific scientific mission objectives.

I see this as being separate division of CSTART. We have CLLARE which is our project to put a human on the Moon. This division could be totally separate so that the objective is to build small scientific payloads that can be flown by NASA or ESA. The totally awesome thing about that is that oftentimes the engineers and scientists who developed the project are the ones who fly with it in space (assuming that it isn't an unmanned satellite)

In theory CLLARE could coexist with several other projects without members necessarily participating in both. As an example to get to CLLARE the URL would become http://www.cstart.org/cllare/forum and then your program would be http://www.cstart.org/science/forum or something like that.

The real challenge would be dividing funds among different projects. For this reason it might be best to keep everything consolidated for now.

For the record, I am in favor of keeping everything simple and consolidated.
