Exc-el version of Wikipedia Community Portal?

How can I help with the Exc-el site? I was asked this today by a new contributor, which again made me wonder if maybe we need an equivalent of the Wikipedia Community Portal , with notices of what's happening, To Do lists etc? I'd been thinking recently that Airset (a web-based group co-ordination tool, offering shared calendar with reminder emails, lists, contacts etc) could help with sharing of this sort of day-to-day information. I might set up a test group there. Comments appreciated - do you think there's a gap here?
