I'd be happy to contribute too.  But I think it depends on how many people in 
KDE "show interest".  Although it could be independent, the system ideally 
needs to mesh in with existing server arrangements, for instance, otherwise 
you could end up with just another Rosetta.  It does seem to me that with the 
current advances in AJAX you could end up with a fairly desktop-like 
interface, but one available webwide.  It's certainly worth thinking more 
about.
