Craigslist Foundation: a nonprofit clearinghouse?

I've been a fan of Craigslist Foundation's work, particularly their bootcamps. Their new direction is very interesting... check out Project Entry Point:
We are transforming the existing Craigslist Foundation website into a comprehensive doorway to the nonprofit sector using a design inspired by craigslist.org and customized to the needs of the sector. Like craigslist.org, Craigslist Foundation's website will connect people to the services they need, to the jobs they seek, and to the peers they want to meet.

If they can pull this off in a useful way, this will be incredibly helpful for the larger nonprofit community... imagine having one-stop internet "shopping" for information on how to deal with issues that others have successfully navigated? This could be a boon for best practices and legal compliance.
