ALright, so they showed some of the flashbacks from the first episode of this season (when they (the others) were discussing books in that book club or whatever and they witness the plane crash).

Do the others know about desmond and the hatch?---depends...was the dude that was there before Desmond an other or part of Dharma? Someone obv pushed and aided Desmond in getting to the island..not sure if they are affiliated with the others though

do they know about the button/the cause of the plan crash? Yes---Ben was in the hatch and knew about the button.

is desmond's hatch a part of the dharma experiment as well? i assume so

also, why was desmond not really questioned in the least when he met back up with the survivors? (and juliette is interrogated). --he was...but basically he was a blubbering drunk who wanted to die so they were like whatever..we want yr boat.

it seems as if they just accepted des right away.-they didnt

thanks
