This seems like a great community and venture -- though I doubt an online community to develop skills, knowledge, and projects will ever compare to a brick and mortar one.
Developers who are really serious about these goals should join a real community where they can sit in a room and collaborate -- like Noisebridge in San Francisco or Hacker Dojo in the Valley. That said, obviously these institutions don't exist everywhere, so this is a great "next-best" option!
