Go for it!  I think your idea is really neat.  I'm a hard core Ruby programmer and have had similar experiences - you can say a

Some weeks ago I started working on a very basic schematics editor,

So chances are not too bade that I will continue working on it in the
next months -- it is really easy and fun. A basic GUI and export of PCB
netlist should be not too difficult. I am not sure if I will ever
support hierachical design and other netlist formats -- that may be
really complicated?

To use it with a web server/web browser does sound like a great tool for collaboration.
It goes right around any install difficulties on odd platforms the full gschem has.
