A friend pointed this thread to me & I found this to be interesting. I am running stalkninja.com since Dec 2010 & noticed that grouptalent.com started 15 days later. Glad to see similar initiative around the world. I agree with Kyle that such an initiative is pretty time consuming. Even I need to spend considerable time hand-holding the first time project creators as I am very particular about the quality of the work that comes. The only hope being - this is one time & if they come back again, they should be able to do it all by themselves. Lot of people pointed out that it is a non-scalable way but I still think of taking my chances :). P.S. cum shameless plug :- stalk ninja is more of college hacker from India centric initiative. The idea is to expose raw but amazing talent to guys who can not afford to offer them a job (salary skew is pretty high in India). We never got covered on any of the major tech journals as I chose to spend time listening to my clients, helping them refine projects & spreading the word to college audience. Not sure, if this is right - but again - I decided to take my chances & do things my way :).
