Great initiative! Are you considering setting up a blog / github page / anything to keep track and coordinate the effort?
I'm asking because though I'd love to help I know I won't be able to commit to it full-time. So it would be great to be able to follow up and get an idea of where the project is going, what areas it is tackling, etc.
Also, maybe a "Show HN" could help spreading to a wider audience whatever you set up.
