I think this is a good idea, but I'd like to start on something more
concrete and less infrastrcturey at first.  Partially because I'd like
to extract such components (frameworks) from real application work.

That being said, one obvious application we could get started on would
be a hosted app/place for matching volunteers with projects and/or
their regions.  Perhaps a non-profit could come intot he site and look
for a local developer that could help lead an open-source
charity-based project as part of the Ruby For Change umbrella.  What
do you all think about that as something to start hacking?
