During the last years I've keep track of several Open Source and 
commercial products that created something more or less similar to witch 
you are proposing now and I've always found it quite useful both for 
users and developers. As an user, I could move some of the contents 
being added to our own server to the farm once I understand its functioning.

Provided I am a simple user, yes. We have decided here to stick with 
XWiki as our collaborative environment, thus to be involved in a larger 
community will always helps us. You could think it is an egoist point of 
view, but it is the only one we can afford at this very moment.

Just our 2 cents,

Ricardo
