This sounds exactly like an idea that I've had before. What my friends and I called it was 'GameTube' which would be a platform for making and sharing games online. That was part of what motivated me to work on the Duck programming language, which would be a simplified language to develop in, along with some web IDE's for game making and common content that aspiring game developers could work with.
I think creating a platform for collaborative creation in games is a great idea and something that is as-of-yet untapped in online communities. The main limiting factor is creating tools and platforms that outperform what already exists and creating an ecosystem for users where they have support to work on ideas that connect.
