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

[Gus Austin]

I was planning on scheduling another planning session (looks like Monday or
Tuesday might work best) using Dojo's Dimdim (
http://groups.drupal.org/node/17806) to get everyone on the same page for
the Dojo project. As previously mentioned, the aggregation element is a top
priority.

Would be great to have Addi involved in the convo, but either way, she has a
good deal of knowledge about the Dojo and will make sure that any innovation
makes it back into the official documentation.

If that sounds good, I'll schedule a session for early next week and we'll
keep the conversations going in the Drupal Groups (this is a good thread to
jump in - http://groups.drupal.org/node/15832) and #drupal-dojo IRC.
