And yes, I am going to try and put something together. What time I have is limited, but in any case, realistically no one person could commit all the time necessary to put this together; it's going to have to be a group project with a lot of delegation, so, probably a good idea to start it out that way.
First easy step, moving discussion of the project out of my personal lj: please join and watch

(I will also be tagging all posts in my own lj related to the archive with the tag "archive", if you want to subscribe to notifications for posts with that tag.)
( Next step, first call for volunteers ), with five jobs, mostly related to setting up the discussion community and collecting notes on what we've got so far. Please take a look and grab one if you can!
ETA to fix the link, duh, sorry.
