I'm happy to hear there is at least one who's interested. From my point 
of view, which excludes Nico Hamm for now (he will write his opinions 
himself), it should be centered around but not restricted to 
Anime/Manga/Japan-Culture. One of the things i thought about was how to 
handle commercial stuff, if it ever happens. One idea would be to allow  
non-profit project for free and ask _tiny_ fees (to help pay for the 
server) for pages that intend a commercial use. The other would be to 
hand-check everything and ensure it's "fan stuff".

Fan Stuff: User post about things and _discuss_. No selling, no 
commercial stuff. --> This might be a huge break, who knows. Marketing 
is way to complex.

About the domain registration system, is there any open source project 
or any recommendations? I mean coding one myself or together with Nico 
Hamm will also work, but why reinvent the wheel if there is one already?

I'll tell Nico to write his ideas right after me. He has some plans as 
far as i know.
