Community Created Applications and Websites?

After reading through the Digital Gaudium interview with ArenaNet, I noticed one of the questions involved the Guild Wars 2 mobile application.

""""

Q: I was pretty excited about the announcement of the Mobile and Web Apps, from the blog post it seemed like a much more complex project than your traditional MMO Companion App. Will the Apps be ready for launch day?

A: For launch we won’t have any GW2 apps available for use for players. However, soon after launch we’ll be launching a robust app development program in conjunction with our community that should allow for the development of some truly spectacular GW2 app and website development. We’ll discuss this more post ship, right now we’re focused on making the release of the game the greatest it can be.

This seems quite interesting. Could it be that there won't be an actual ArenaNet sponsored application, but instead the community designs various applications? 

Also the possibility for various web APIs for the use in websites seems quite interesting. I'm really curious about this now. It could make developing a Guild Website more fun.

Does everyone feel about the possibility of community directed applications, rather than ArenaNet creating and maintaining them?
