I'd be more concerned with whether or not a new community is actually necessary / if there are already any thriving communities out there in the space.
If there are communities, finding out the pain points of the existing communities would be good to dig into. Is the community low engagement? Did the community "used to be better" because of X, Y or Z? Is there an issue with spam and/or moderation concerns? etc.
If you've checked into that, and you're still on pace to start your own community, I'd start with the "why" / craft a mission statement and get a landing page up to start collecting emails.

Thanks Josh.
I agree that the things that you mentioned are important, the most important in building community.
What I also want to know is whether there are anything related to legalities or logistics of organizing community I need to pay attention to.
