Two years ago, we tried this. It was called The FIRST Codex, and it was located at
www.first-codex.net. It's since been taken down, as not enough interest was given by the teams at the time.
I would suggest speaking to Gui, he may be able to help set up some stuff, as he was one of the orignial people who set up the original site.
I don't know how many people remember this, but two years ago, Gui organized several programming meetings at Nationals, and we did have about 10 or 15 people come, if I remember correctly. I think that something that would be fun is if we can set that up again. I'll be attending the Championships this year, so if anyone else likes this idea, let me know and I'll try to set something up.
The idea for a code repository is a nice idea though, as long as it is kept up to date and moderated for potentially bad code (this is FIRST, but some people have weird notions of what "fun" is :-\). I say go all out for it, just make sure someone will be able to maintain it, lest it fall into oblivion (like the FIRST Codex did).
