This sounds like something that is useful to Sugar Labs and the
Sugar/OLPC ecosystem in gerneral.  I will help you set it up and
provide staff to generate initial momentum.  It would be easy for
Sugar Labs to host it.

A couple of months ago we (Activity Central) set up a new IRC channel
#sugar-newbies which is staffed by alsroot.  Alsroot is available to
help new developers.  Answering IRC questions for AC allows alsroot to
earn enough money that he can focus his time and energy on his primary
project.
