I must be missing something, because I honestly can't tell the difference between what you're proposing, and what Pinax (and the corresponding live-demo site cloud27.com) is intended to do. There may be aspects of Pinax's documentation that could be improved, and there may be features that Pinax doesn't have that are worth demonstrating, but it sounds like it would be a lot easier to add to/improve on Pinax than to try starting a new project from scratch.
