A small team has started the project. We’re currently working out what we need; you’ll probably hear from us soon.
Javascript/XHTML/etc. experience
This in particular might be very useful.
Due to personal things, I don’t have the time to lead or contribute -hugely- to this effort.
You mention a wiki and/or bug tracker. I am thinking that setting up and running one might distract the programmers, but may not take much time for a single person to manage. Something to think about if it turns out you don’t have enough time.
I might be able to help build the site due to the following bits from my past:
Javascript/XHTML/etc. experience
WAMP/LAMP/ASP .NET experience
Coordinated >20 people across multiple time zones using web forums/online chat
Ran a website with a chatroom and used it to hold meetings
Slight obsession with user interfaces (built web applications/desktop applications)
Downside:
Due to personal things, I don’t have the time to lead or contribute -hugely- to this effort.
Ideas:
Keep the project management side of things relatively transparent (perhaps using Github, SourceForge, or at least keeping the spec in a wiki).
Have a public bug tracker.

I’m using workflowy to map out all my programming projects. I find it more useful than a wiki.
Others on LW have found it useful.
