First of all. It has to be called, "The lions Den." That's not even negotiable.
Now, down to the less important parts of the post from top to bottom. As somebody here for the past 5 years i fell that we are finally moving in a good direction. Bringing in developments for the end user.
The reason this is happening is because of the centralized team driving all o this development. I've seen the struggles of Hive development to date and how hard it is to progress in a decentralized manner. Luckily we have enough committed members building out layer one for layer two products to build and flourish.
I think that the leo eco-system is growing well as it is right now but as stakeholders there is always room to do more and grow our own investment. I think that there would be an appetite from the community to get involved as it is all of our investments that we would be helping.
The way I see it, a foundation would be a huge chance for those who want to do more, make things happen, and overall get more involved with the ecosystem, to participate and do their part towards the ecosystem's growth.
We have already seen the appetite for work when the leoads announcement was released as the community saw how their direct involvement would lead to more profit for all of us.
I think that for any foundation of this sort to work it would need to be structured in this model of effort and reward. Anything that is handled be the foundation would need to have a real sense of growing leo or the larger ecosystem.
Tangible and measurable results.
I think that the general idea itself is very good as long as it has the right vision and structure. I'm certain that we would get the support of the community in any project that the den proposed.
There would be a lot to be discussed to start with but there is definitely something here.

The Lion's Den is a kickass name can't argue with that, there's a second post I published a few hours ago, maybe that will give you a more detailed vision of how it could work when we are in the baby (cub?) steps :D
