I'd like to see this in the UK, i've always said one day i'd start that kind of agency. This is a great idea.

It exists! We are building a community at YunoJuno that provides all the support of a large company, but for people who choose to be freelance. We're not quite as gung-ho as these guys - and we're not offering to manage your career - that's your business - but we do want to support talented freelancers in the creative (design, ux, dev) community. www.yunojuno.com

(Oh, and we're not charging you anything - we charge the employer, fixed rate, no shenanigans.)

You're missing less web-centric dev skills.

Some suggestions: Haskell, C, Erlang, OCaml, C++.

Yup - this is true. The "skills matrix" for developers is a real bone of contention - too many and it's confusing, too few and it's limiting. In reality, for now we are focussing on creative agencies, and they are web-focussed - we are not meeting with companies who have low-level perforamnce or control issues. It's about building web and mobile apps. For now ;-)

Is this just an umbrella company under other name?
