I think this is a clever idea. I know of a few people that have pondered getting housemates that have a specific skill set in addition to a good vibe.

I think you've missed the single most important requirement for a "kickass roomate" - has got non-work stuff finished and launched.

I would also advise you to scrap all the development/design criteria of tools, and focus on attitudes and passions. Like look for a hacker developer, and a designer that is obsessed with user experience. Any man and his dog can use a collection of tools but that makes them neither a developer nor kickass.

You might also want to put a link to a web product you've finished (you state "i develop web applications not only for work, but for fun. it takes up most of my time.") -- you have launched stuff right? :)

Good luck man.
