My 2 cents, er ideas:
1. A speaker network. Most local groups opperate with no budget so it
would be nice to have list of speakers that are wiling to speak for
free if/when they happen to be in town. Maybe it could be tied to
Tripit or Dopplr so that it that notifies a city's local leader when
any speakers are planning a trip to their neck of the woods.
2. An initiative registry. Since we're all volunteers, it's hard to
stay focused on some of the smaller initatives. When someone gets too
busy to see an idea through, we loose a lot of institutional memory.
If there was an initiative registry on IxDA.org people could look them
up, see who's got the ball, progress, etc. If it's lost momentum or
not moving as fast as you'd like you could sign on to help.

Off the top of my head:
- creating virtual communities of practice around mediums (mobile,
web, CE, etc)
- creating a job/internship board to move the jobs out of the email
stream (or only put them there once a week) and a listing of
interaction design firms
- create a interaction design dictionary and maintain related
wikipedia articles about us
- IxDA Twitter account for announcements/news of interest and
perhaps even tying this to the email list/web site to announce when
a new thread starts
- Mini one-day local conferences
