I just started something very similar for the DC area ( http://dcstartupwiki.com/ ). It makes sense to have a centralized location for all this startup in, but delegated by locale. That way, there only needs to be one location to goto to g

#3 isn't true for taskqueue tasks or cron jobs anymore, the deadline is now 10 minutes ( actually will be once 1.4.0 SDK is released in about a week or so ) Also at first glance there is no indication of how the author got to a value of 15k

It would be nice if you could set some approximate times and have it email/SMS/dm you to do those things. So at 5pm everyday you'll get a text message to goto the gym. And at 9am you get one to check server logs.
