http://nymote.org/ http://nymote.org/ is running along similar lines and has some serious technical chops behind it (including some of the original Xen folks). I'm not so sure about their UX skills, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

  Seems to be working for me (I'm the author). It's hosted on GitHub Pages so perhaps they had a transient issue.

(I'm the site author) Is the UX comment something about the site or the tools? If it's the site, that's on me and I have a bunch of work queued up to better represent the tools. Specific feedback would be welcome. If it's about the tools, the first UI is the command line as we expect these to be components that developers can use. In terms of the initial applications we refer to, they would effectively be CardDAV and CalDAV servers so you'd hook in your existing apps to them.

  To phrase it better - I don't have any idea whether the UX skills of the team match up with the technical skills. I wasn't criticising anything in particular, just noting a lack of knowledge on my part.

Also reminds me of Tent [1]. Brendan Eich also mentioned something like this idea in the same post where he stepped down from being CEO of Mozilla [2]. It's good to see a lot of brains working on the concept because I think there's a huge amount of potential in putting data in the customer's warehouse. I think we can achieve a much greater level of composibility of consumer services when each doesn't have to worry about being its own data warehouse.
