[documentation] Collecting Drupal presentations / videos / resources together in one sane place

[Gus Austin]

Hi,

I chatted to George in the IRC about some projects/initiatives complimentary
to what's being discussed here. The following thread should give you some
background and an idea how things are moving forward with one of them -
http://groups.drupal.org/node/15832

The aggregation element has been broken out into it's own subproject (
http://groups.drupal.org/node/16873) and the goal is to create something
modular that could easily be set up on the Dojo site, on official channels
(g.d.o./d.o.), or anywhere else it would make sense.

There's already a good foundation, skilled team coming together, and it
would great to combine forces build something that would be very valuable to
the community.

Come join the fun!
