I'm not a -www regular, but I can give you some advice based on my own experience. When I started Debian-NP, I had a mailing list at another site and a website offsite as well (although I did give it a debian.net domain to make it easy for people to remember). We did some work and we rallied a lot of Debian people with a d-d-a announcement and the like. We ended up with 140 or so people on the mailing list, a website translated into a couple of languages, a little bit of code, and a lot of energy. We worked a whole lot on wiki.debian.net. From this point, transitioning the the list and website to d.o was easy and there were plenty of people willing to help. If the energy is already clear (it's difficult for me to determine this from -devel but it seems like its the sort of idea that will generate energy) you need to, at the very least, get some content together and begin to move forward with your project. :) Starting an Alioth project is something that -np did later but it may be a very good first step for -enterprise and will give you a d.o website and much more. :) Hope this helps.
