 existing planet.wordpress.org feed instead, as has been done for other
 resources?

 > I'm just not sure if a dashboard widget for this solves an actual
 problem the users have, and will for the majority of users be a widget to
 turn off as their first action. Given that most users likely aren't
 looking for videos talking about WP features (and may even be confusing if
 the most recent ones are technical presentation for example).

 @Clorith, thanks for the feedback, that's a good point. My thinking goes
 like this:

 1. The primary dashboard widget already contains news from
 planet.wordpress.org as well as upcoming events.
 2. WordPress.tv is updated quite regularly, with large sets of new videos
 being updated at a time. If added to the resources at
 planet.wordpress.org, it might mean other useful info, like nearby meetups
 might get lost/missed.

 In my opinion much of content at WordPress.tv would extremely useful,
 especially to new users. However I do agree on your point about technical
 talks, so perhaps a way to better filter the content in the widget would
 make sense?
