Sounds like a great idea to me.

This will be great. Also, what if each deployment lists somewhere
(wiki?) the 10 bugs that would need fixed first and the 10 new
features that need most?

That way a volunteer developer would be able to relate his work to
something actually useful somewhere else, as opposed to something that
_he_ just thought was a good idea. I think this could be a powerful
motivator to get more people involved.
