Critique / Suggestions

Hey all. I'm currently building a project aimed at php developers of all skill levels. I basically am trying to create a 1-stop shop for developers to come to in order to gain information about php.
The current goals in mind are the following :
Offer ability for users to post useful links they have found that has made their lives easier for specific jobs (ie, a link that explains how to use the date function).
Based on clicks, it would order the links as most popular, and users could vote on the links they feel was the most helpful.
Same concept in dealing with news, events, forums, communities, scripts, and more.
I would probably create a forum on there, but I would be more interested in advertising other forums' communities (like devnetwork and phpbuilder and the many others).
I also want to allow developers to go to one site in order to get the latest news for php, their database server of choice (mysql, orcacle, mssql, etc...), web server, and os.
Now, some of you may say "hey...that sounds like slashdot". Well, the concept is the same, but i'm makin git like slashdot on steroids.
Currently the site i have up is http://www.phpingenuity.com/. If I could get some comments on what you, the developer, would like to see a site give them, please let me know! I'm building this for not only myself, but for every developer out there. No suggestion will go unread. I want to know what you would like to see in a website that would make your life easier and more entertaining when it comes to php and the open source world. Thanks!
(again, the website is http://www.phpingenuity.com/ )
Thanks.
Edit: I guess i should also say that the site is still under construction. I'm only building the foundation at the moment and the design could change based on the information left here.).
