I think that's a great idea. At this point in time, there is so much stuff going on the CS/AI/ML domain that translating research papers into something people can read without incalculable suffering might be as important and valuable as research itself. After all, many of those papers concern things that almost anyone with access to a computer can actually implement and use.
PS: Bonus points for anything that diverges from the current mainstream (like SVMs or boosting).
