It's good that you mentioned kicadcloud.com, I hadn't spotted that yet. I did receive email from Andrew @ circuithub and I asked some questions about API and other details. There may be potential to collaborate with them on the API.
I'm putting together a write up of the problem, the possible online/cloud (although I really think that term is over used) solution and some implementation ideas. I'll try to follow up here in a few days once I have something that is enough to be beyond just some guy sending email to the kicad developers list. My initial email was to see if anyone else might be on board with the idea and to start to gather some details before doing all of that extra work.
