There's a quite interesting concept at http://www.wepc.com/ where Intel and Asus will create the first community designed laptop. Anyone can bring ideas on what would become a "Dream PC". The results, there are three various categories, won't become a mish-mash of lots of community based ideas though. It's about influencing the design and functionality where ASUS will evaluate the feedback for the blueprint.

A good idea, which might work. On the other hand these passionate users could also be a very critical and cynical targetgroup where consensus is rarely seen. Unless we talk about Apple-stuff, that is.
