A suggestion for the future would be having open channels for online and immediate/later synchronization of eg. sensory data from accelerometry and actual speed measurement to the video?

Yes, that would be great 
.
There will be difficulties though :
- Access to hardware. To develop and test the sensor acquisition, the developer would need to have the hardware that is sending the data plugged in.
- Protocols and formats. For devices that send digital data they sometimes transmit using their own proprietary format understood only by their application… 
I guess that would be a good candidate for a plug-in architecture where people with access to the specific hardware could help build a plugin for it, and then get it integrated in the main codeline.
First of all, it would be nice to have an idea of the type of devices/data we are talking about 
.
Can you point to some examples sensors ?
- I had started to look into strength platforms used by podiatrics a long time ago (surface sensors), but access to hardware is definitely an issue for real time capture of data.
- There are also other strength platforms for more general use. (anyone with a link to a specific vendor or hardware?)
- Pulse recording equipement. (not sure of the actual usefulness to have this data along the video ?)
- others ?
Please point to examples of "accelerometry" sensors and other type of sensors you may have in mind!
iPod, iPhone, WII remote... They all send 3D accelerometry and gyrodata by email (iPods) and bluetooth (iPods and WII). There are already third party programs for exporting the data. There is still a need to do something useful with it...
Then it should be possible to integrate windspeed, measured pressure/force etc.
More Ideas?

Here is a good example from swimming using a velocity meter, with synchronized video.
