I think Ben Hammersley built a "Ideas Repository" ages ago... .But what has happened to it I do not know....
Some ideas
1) How about a voting system for America.... Next year is the American election. The results effects us all, but we have no votes. How about a system that would record all our votes....
2) A system that allowed children in the developed world to make friends with children in the developing world. It would be done school by school so that there would be some form of security.... With the advent of One Lap Top Child it could become big... If anybody was interested I could try to get the endorsement of AfrIspa (The African ISP Association) that I do some work with and for.
3) A system that allowed towns/villages to communicate with each other. Again developed /developing world. Again I could ask AfrIspa for some kind of endorsement.
4) A system that scanned some of the government Western Travel Advisory sites (British Foreign Office, US State Department, Australian Department of Foreign Affairs), and warned you if an area became dangerous to travel in. It could alert you via twitter if something happened.
5) A system that scanned some of the more respectable news sites for Breaking News. Unlike google news that shows you everything. This site only shows you Breaking News and could alert you via twitter ...
6) A cms every framework needs its own CMS....
Just some ideas for starters... What do people think? All these ideas need fleshing out... What would give grails the most PR.... One of the reasons for the Africa bent is that software for Africa gets newspaper inches....

I don't think that a clone of such a successful project would be so
interesting...
It would be better imho to think about something new.
I've proposed some time ago the idea of an "Ideas Repository", but
daytime job, various commitments and my not so developed skill in
software design concurred in leaving this "project" at the status of "idea".
Anyway, the proposal is still valid, if someone would like to help in
some way...
