I really like the idea and have a couple of build on possibilities (that you may have already considered). 1. I think this would be awesome in a Pinterest style with the graph as the splash page. 2. I don't disquis. I love the hacker news local comment model but do not understand the scope and scale of moderation work that comes with it (thanks dang!) 3. A special flag for projects that git or other hosted source to separate the 'just shiny' from the 'I can learn from the shiny'

Good luck in this space, I think there is a lot of room for a community like this. Also check out datatau for some other story leads that might better fit in your community.
