I don't think that a discussion forum is important at all. Agora is
supposed to be a platform for sharing code, something like CPAN, not
to request help. A comment box for each entry (youtube style) should
be enough. To find help we already have the mailing list, and for
those who prefer to interact it "forum style" there's nabble.

Don't bother. There's the wiki and the manual for that. The only thing
I see about documentation is that when packages and snippets are
uploaded they will have the documentation in the source. Possibly in
TexInfo. It would be nice to display it properly formatted.

This is what Agora is supposed to do. Please do this first.

No. Don't do this. There's a manual and a wiki.

Don't do this.
