I think the easiest way to do this would be an IRC channel, an IRC client is easy to include If they are making a third party program. Im not sure If you can connect to bnet chat without an official program like you could in older bnet games.
They gotta keep the community together though yeah, and finding your own opponents in chat is awesome.

If only SC2 let us name our lobbies in the arcade... I can't believe Blizzard removed such a useful feature.

I'm gonna throw out a couple crazy ideas for Starbow.
Corsairs needed an ability so here is an idea:
Corsairs get a channeling ability that drains energy from their target
This ability can also target allied units and will then instead give the targeted unit energy but immobilises it for the duration. (yeyeye sounds broken as hell and probably is, maybe it could work with the correct numbers + ability is channeling so they could be focused down, in battle anyway)

Dark Archon, merged out of 3 dark templars:
Has a channeling spell that that deals area damage around him and drains energy and shields per second.
Has another ability that sacrifices 100 energy for 100 shield points (not exceeding its maximum shields)

These two could obviously work very well together.

I'm hoping this will at the very least be thought provoking.

I like the idea of a Dark Archon from 2 Dark Templar. It should be similar to a regular Archon (maybe a tad stronger), but actually be always cloaked. Also, it should require additional research, unlike regular Archon's.

Don't you think that protoss society is a tad competitive like this? We have dragoons (high) and stalkers (dark), high templar and dark templar, archons (high) and dark archons. Next step: implement the dark obelisk (pylon) from the alpha. I think there was a void version of the carrier initially as well, which was called the tempest in alpha.

My unit design idea: two dark templar morph into a void walker, that'll quickly grow weary of being controlled and turn on the player, attacking units at will. (sooo gimmicky, but meh )

I would love a spellcaster (DT+HT Archon maybe?) that could turn any Protoss unit into its nerazim/khala counterpart.
Could also be a way to grant access to otherwise not reachable units (Carrier-->Tempest; Archon-->DA; zealot-->???; sentinel-->oracle...). Just for the funnsies, like make that spell consume the whole (purple) Archon when being used, so there is little competitive use, but yeah, just for fun!
