It's not just speaking skills: you're right, the best way to do that is to present. But there's a lot more than just talking. That's where the team comes in - how to structure a successful talk, how to submit it to a conference or user group, how to get financial aid to attend. Past talks which were successful, how to find local user groups to present to. Google hangouts with mentors (thing, YC office hours) to dry run your proposal. There's a lot of Good that a team of experience hackers, presenters, conference organizers and outreach groups can do. We have all the tools we need, now we just need to centralize the talent and willingness to teach. Call for proposal deadlines, which conferences make sense, which don't. Topic reviews, submission reviews, financial aid, outreach, connecting. Might as well add it to the site metadata.
