Exactly this has happened once at the TYPO3 user experience week and it 
will happen again this year, since there are even two events focusing on 
this kind of improvements:

T3DUST http://forge.typo3.org/boards/17/topics/427
T3UXW http://forge.typo3.org/boards/17/topics/393

Both got a budget and since I am part of the organising team of T3DUST I 
can tell you that it is going to happen end of September in Festernburg, 
Upper Harz, Germany.

One of the main topics will be "Distributions", and I guess we could 
provide exactly what you are asking for: A reliable base of well 
prepared extensions, page structures, content and themes to pave the way 
to TYPO3 CMS for beginners.

We will have a preparation workshop - again at the developer days - but 
of course we are always open for good ideas be it during the workshop or 
the time until T3DUST starts.

So feel free to contact us :-)

Cheers

Joey
