If I understand you correctly then you are actually talking about 
Personal Content Management Systems, which some people at OSCOM were
quite fond of ;-)

The guys from Mozilla (resp. Netscape) were pretty interested in better
collaboration between Mozilla and CMSs. There is certainly a huge 
potential and many ways to start with, which might be the problem.

Another problem is to get things rolling and achieve a critical mass.
Maybe OSCOM (http://www.oscom.org) would be a good platform for that.
