Perhaps a site dedicated to BSD on the desktop?  The .org could be for
people to post stories, howtos, and screen-shots.

Maybe some company would eventually pick up the .com and start distributing
a "Desktop BSD" version of FreeBSD with support and everything ala RedHat.
Although that'll probably have to wait till the economy gets off it's ass.
