thanks kristof, i'd like to add:

briefly discuss the building and managing of the multilingual community 
- ie. content/comments/posts will be in a non-english language, so who 
will be able to moderate that content/comments / posts etc, and how do 
we go about getting those people! (this is important because drupal is 
worldwide, so why should ppl struggle with one great english-only 
resource-site).

tying in the existing (and future) videos of dcons, dcamps, etc.

that's the only extra things i can think of for now!
cheers
