I don't personally feel any pain by having these in different places. If other people do, then you might be on to something, but otherwise, why not focus on a piece that isn't done well elsewhere, rather than replicating common things (job search, news, forums, etc.)? In particular, I haven't seen a quick-and-dirty outsource app done well. Ideally, I think you want something kind of along the lines of linkedin, where you post jobs to people you know. I'm not going to give SCM credentials to a stranger on elance. If this does well, you could build a community around it, rather than starting with a community.
