I think it's a really good idea. We are slightly a developer focused
community. It'll be good to show what our developers are up to, how much
they work, what they work on. It'll encourage developers, and would also
encourage more developers folks to join the community. 

Just a quick glance. I'm sure others will have a lot of other, much more
detailed input on this.
