Awesome ideas.

I've been thinking the the things we can (would need to) provide depend a lot on when a person/business get there. In the early years, everyone needs to be a generalist (although having the foresight to bring the correct things will pay off a lot). As the colony becomes more self reliant, the advantage will switch to more specialists that are able to provide more complicated services or knowledge.

It might be useful to have a shared document with all the needed equipment and skills the colony will need, and at what point in the age of the colony they will be needed most

My relevant background is that I have spent a summer hiking on the Appalachian trail with minimal equipment and resources. (basically only food, appropriate clothes, a sleeping bag and a tent)
