hey groten, thanks for the bunch of inspiration!
To wrap it up, your suggestions as I understood lead us to the following projects:

1) Write reports on community activity regularly for the dev
<< devs could then decide whether this aggregation suffices their needs. can be started right away.

2a) Fund and Constitute a Gridcoin foundation
<< long-term goal, but really this is where we should be heading, even doge has a foundation

2b) work out a brand
<< this ought to follow the logo specification and is a mid-term goal, imho

3) assign a team
<< the community wont take the lead here, Rob has a small team already, afaik.
some community members like aysyr work closely with them.
Therefore, i'd suggest we bring up a pool of help offers from members, which dev board can assign subtasks to.

your ideas would definitely boost this network!
are you fine with the projects i concluded?
I'd like to enlist them alongside your nickname, if you agree.
Otherwise they get lost in the stream.

Thanks for the help!
