1a) Find a repository for binary packages. Who can host an access site? I
have a machine with a reasonably static IP address (i.e. DHCP but hasn't
changed in over 6 months), but probably not enough disk space to host
things once they really get going. I don't think it's worth troubling
the main Debian site until we have at least a base system running.
I can host CVS and files at vmlinux.org.
(But maybe better to use Savannah or Sourceforge.)

Here is what has been loosely agreed upon. Comments, suggestions, & changes
are still welcome.
Minimum System Requirements:
- Pentium class with MMX technology (or compatible)
- Windows 2000 or XP base operating system (Win95/98/ME/NT not supported)
NT has the same relevant capabilities as 2000 and XP, so no reason
to exclude it.
General Guidelines:
- Match other Debian architectures as closely as possible, even at the
expense of being different than the original CygWin distribution.
Indeed!
Cygwin works so well it has held back a Debian port to Win32, IMHO.
