We have ONE opportunity, so we really musn't waste it spunking out 100 different topics and getting lost in the noise.
Personally, I'm partial to temporarily closing every forum but Shenmue III and News so that all the Dojo's members are focused in one place. I know everyone's playing through Shenmue I and II right now, but I believe that in the absence of Awesome Japan being hands-on, we must be.
Sticky the best Kickstarter ideas (such as $30 on the 3rd) and really throw the weight of the Dojo behind them -- put them up on the front page. Who cares about a Famitsu interview right now? The front page should be a rallying call.
If we can channel our enthusiasm into 4 - 5 common goals instead of 50 different ones, or set out an "official" timetable (like Riku Rose's) then we're getting somewhere. This is where I think Dojo Admin / someone else needs to step in to oversee the community's efforts, put the goals up in lights and perhaps "direct" the Dojo a little. Decide what's relevant, what's achievable, and take the reigns.
If that sounds a little totalitarian, meh, so be it. This is Shenmue III and if we want to hit Yu's magic $10M (outrageously optimistic it may be), we need to get our arses in gear and channel our efforts!

I'm not too much up to date about gaming mass media.
Riku Rose wrote: Well I'll write a rough draft with a goal for each day but more detailed and spread out then my one before. Get the guy who made your sig to make this schedule into a catchy poster of some kind that can be sent to all the Shenmue pages out there. Then we just spread it out and watch what I'm calling Operation Warehouse 10 go into effect.
