Are there any other suggestions from people here?

I would suggest the following: 1) Anyone interested in volunteering, whether pre- or post-startup, should come forward, and state their interests and abilities to contribute. What do youse have in mind? Where can your talents best be employed? Who can and should you be collaborating with on those tasks? 2) Them that are able and willing to provide help on the extensive list of pre-startup tasks should organize themselves. Tallest to shortest? I don't know; let's just get tasks assigned and put workers to work on the things they can work on. 3) People who just have a vague sense that they would like to provide content, can email me, and we'll talk. There's already an informal content junta that's thinking ahead to this goal and considering possible projects that are clearable under Canadian law. Let's just not duplicate each other's work. 4) People in section (3) who haven't already done so, should sign up at www.pgdp.net and gain some practical experience in proofing and content- providing.
