Community/Open Source Chassis Project

I know this has been suggested before here, but I am looking to start an "open source" chassis project based on designing simple, inexpensive drivebases that can be built with basic tools. The idea would be to develop basic designs (not necessarily detailed cad files, more like simple overall drawings) for chassis that teams without experience or access to more powerful tools can build confidently. I've seen too many times that a team can't compete, or gets on the field and has their robot rendered useless by simple problems with their drive system, and I feel this not only discourages them from continuing, but is also easily remedied.

Our team would like to see this idea grow, and are already planning on releasing the basic design of our drivebase. Does anyone have an interest in such a project, or any ideas on how this could work?
