Hello Alex
To reiterate my reply to your email and to add a few things. open4energy looks like a great initiative. Thanks for letting me know about RRDtool and Cacti.
Right now my priority is to work on building a device that can measure whole house electricity use with both a 7-segment output and graphing on a local computer and also DC power monitoring for the wind turbine.

A quick search for SNMP + Arduino came up with this device:

It should be possible to connect it up to the sensing electronics and arduino to do what you need.
Like you say drupal handles forums well. I would say that both sites are complementary.
