OK, fine by me
If people want to show what they're doing, they'll just post the 0.x versions. If they want help with those, just ask.
People who don't want anybody to see what they're doing until version 1.0, just post that one as soon as you reach it.

Sounds fine by me. It's logical to do the big stuff at first, and then, in a second pass, fix spelling, grammar and style.

I think authors will always want to update and tweak, so I don't think we can set any story as final until we're ready to assemble the ebook.

With "final" I mean that there shouldn't be any huge changes to the story anymore. Not inserting or removing entire scenes, or suddenly creating another character. That would defeat the editing process.
It's OK to change words around here and there, fix spelling or grammar mistakes, clarify passages a bit if necessary; the sort of things that don't drastically change the story.
