Yes, it would be a really good system for doing that.  We build one over
at:

  http://www.digicool.com/site/Collector/

based on our Tabula product that runs in Zope.

The biggest problem we had in doing the Collector was requirements.  We
never had the discipline to write down what we wanted it to do!  Thus, I
think the first requirement for "Zitterbug" would be to focus on the
early part of the software lifecycle.
