Missed:
   Contribute Translations
   Contribute Install(ation) profiles
The latter might fall under "code", but given how Dries' continuously 
pacing how we need more of these, it might be good to pull them all the 
way to the front. ;)

"Talk with the community" is definitely an improvement to 
"communication". :) But, perhaps "interact with the community"?

"Contribute Translations" would need to change very soon. :) Right now, 
it should deal with how to report bad translations, how to commit 
translations to CVS, how to begin a new translation project, and general 
project management stuff as in the theme and module sections. Soon, it 
should tell how to get permissions to use the Drupal.org l10n_server as 
well as a tutorial in how to use it. What exactly should go into the 
handbook probably depends on how exactly l10n_server will work on and 
with Drupal/.org.
