This would facilitate constant improvement and new designing, which was also what I was aiming for when I thought the thing up.
Another system could be based on CD reputation incorporated on what you mentioned. There will possibly be another forum for this "open source" or another website and you can only be invited if your reputation exceeds a certain level to ensure that they will contribute to the program as much as they do on CD.
