Fantasy Worldbuilding Questions by Patricia C. Wrede, http://www.sfwa.org/writing/worldbuilding1.htm – These are specifically geared toward fantasy worlds, but they’re esily adapted to any other kind of worldbuilding. This is a much more expansive look at the aspects of the world mentioned briefly above.
The Rules of Quick and Dirty Worldbuilding by Annalee Newitz http://io9.com/5039477/the-rules-of-quick-and-dirty-worldbuilding – This takes on more of a science fiction bent, but again has some advice that can be generalized to other worldbuilding.
The Mythopoets Manual by Loren J. Miller http://www.rpgmud.com/WorldBuilding/Mythopoets/tmm.html – Specifically looks at the issue of religion.
Worldbuilding Links http://www.bmarch.atfreeweb.com/Worldbuilding.htm – A collection of links to other worldbuilding resources.
World Builder Projects http://hiddenway.tripod.com/world/ – Another collection of links to other worldbuilding resources.
Our next meeting we’ll discuss red herrings which is scheduled for Sunday, June 14, 2009 from 12:00 (possibly 12:15pm) -3:00 pm at the library. More information to come.

Great resources and tips on “worldbuilding.”
I’d like to join your group. I’m currently in China (for the month of June) and split my time between China and US, so I may not be able to make many meetings. I’ve written three fantasy fiction novels, none published yet. A writing group seems the logical next step.
Thanks, Nick LeForce
