Hi Nathan
this is something that's probably "in the air" and I bet quite a few people
are thinking of things along these lines too.
It's not unrelated to the 'PolyMath' projects,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymath_Project
a type of 'massively collaborative mathematics projects'
http://gowers.wordpress.com/2009/01/27/is-massively-collaborative-mathematics-possible/
discussed and practiced by Tim Gowers.
In terms of tools, you might be interested in this page:
