I'd help build it and I'd also use it.
I have been thinking of building something like this but
- free,
- for all creative / professional skills, and
- with a Google Maps integration feel to it for people who wanted to
meet in person for such purposes.
Essentially: Users would define a "skills wishlist" and the system would
match them up, taking into account their locality and availability if
they have provided it.
But a more focused version that assumes web development / programming,
and remote collaboration, would be way cool. ;)
Just a note that Growstuff is already working on something similar for
matching up people for pair programming. It's mostly centred on
timezones/availability at present but if you're interested in what we've
done/what we're planning, here are a few links:
code: https://github.com/Growstuff/pear
docs etc: http://wiki.growstuff.org/index.php/Pear
tracker: https://www.pivotaltracker.com/projects/749095#
and a talk I gave about it the other night:
