RE: How to post in a Steemit Community - for example Project.hope
I'd like to address your a, b, c points directly.
a) when communities will launch (or shortly afterwards) there will be more types of communities available, including one where only members can post or one where only members can post or comment. This is important: There won't be a possibility to change the type of the community, at least not in the first iterations of Hive communities (meaning you can't switch between allowing guest posting and not allowing guest posting in your community, once you created your community and once you chose its type). More about this here.
b) this is high on the list of priorities of roadscape to solve ('cross-posting' and / or resteeming to other communities), but won't be available at launch
c) the hive id has a reason - so that there can't be two identical communities, even if they are named identically. On an interface that understands Hive communities, you won't see the hive id as a tag, you will see the name of the community. Check any community on the beta interface as opposed to the steemit.com or steempeak.com interfaces and you will see the difference. Once Hive communities will be supported on the main interfaces, that won't be an issue.
Steem-Engine "beta" is available here:

But they still need to work on it.
Thank you for that information, they are things that I did not know.
You're welcome! :)
Sure, you raised interesting points.( a.) That would be nice to have communty founders decide the type of community, which will indicate the features that are possible in each.
B. Whitelisting will solve a lot of headache at sources as against using crowd action through downvoting to deal with spammers
About... whitelisting. Currently there isn't this possibility. But there is the possibility of blacklisting. Muting either one post or the author. This is of course not ideal, that's why most likely if one prefers whitelisted authors (or authors and commenters), they will wait for the respective type of community to be introduced, as I described above.
It's me again @gadrian
I've just realized that I never actually thanked you for your comment. Big thx.
Luckily they already changed that.
ps.
I would need to ask you for little favour. Recently I've decided to join small contest called "Community of the week" and I desribed our project.hope hive/community. Would you mind helping me out and RESTEEM this post - just to get some extra exposure? Your valuable comment would be also appreciated.
Link to my post: on steemit or on steempeak
Thanks :)
Yours, Piotr
