I'd suggest one person goes through the portal ahead of everyone else, just in case it is dangerous. You wouldn't want people shoving for room on a precarious platform high in the sky or over lava.
Also, if everyone brings a 'survival kit', say 4 or more stacks of cobble, a stack of dirt or gravel, a stack of torches, a supply of food to their own satisfaction (contending with the new hunger mechanic as best able) and a bed.
I'd be cautious about moving our supplies around and doing a lot of building too soon after 1.8, in case any new bugs undo our work, but if we can make some sort of outpost out there, we can get a site for Exoddus Settlement sorted, and build the town out from there. Maybe stick a wall up as and when we see fit.
Major buildings of Exoddus Settlement could be immigration (portal building) and later on the planned town hall (community chests, dormitories, notice board, etc.) when we have more of a plan and know the game version is stable.
