Good question - dragging some thoughts together and basing it on the 
FOAFCorp document (and using a community namespace - comm):

<comm:Community comm:name="My community">
<comm:homepage >
<Document dc:title="My community" 
web:about="http://www.community.com/" /> 
</comm:homepage>

Probably throw in a community description and I would be interested 
if there was a way to say whether the user database authenticates the 
email which might also be an important aspect of establihing trust, 
etc. I'm sure there are other things but a lot of details about the 
site can be displayed in a RSS 1.x site information page - like the 
one I've quickly knocked together here:

http://development.gurusnetwork.com/site_index.xml

actually it might be helpful to also have a tag linking to the 
site_index information.

I'll have more of a thought about extra information to describe the 
community like the community's focus (playing games, swapping jokes, 
etc.).
