This sounds quite a bit like the WorldLUG concept discussed several days ago, in
essence. Is this a parallel type of project, or could the two be combined?

This almost sounds like an ILTCO-type organization, except it would encompass
all venues of LEGO fan communities, rather than being specific to trains. Is
that accurate, or am I missing the gist?
From what I've read about WorldLUG and LEGOFan.net, it sounds like the idea of
improving communication between existing LEGO fan sites is something that many
people are contemplating lately. Todd Lehman sounded positive about WorldLUG,
and LEGOFan.net has (at least) Peeron involved, so there are some heavy hitters
endorsing the concept. And it can't be bad if Jake is on board ;)
Has anybody done a poll of LEGO-oriented webmasters to see how interested they'd
be in participating? It sounds like a slam dunk, but you never know. It sounds
intriguing, and personally I'd like to know more and see how it would relate to
any of the online LEGO endeavors I'm involved with.
