I think you're on the right track. Start hanging out where programmers do. HN is a good start. Go to conferences for ruby/python/web-stuff and talk to people. Make friends, share your idea freely. Tinker. Try to build it yourself but don't expect that to actually happen without years of mistakes. Talk to others about your attempts, problems and successes.
One of two things will happen, eventually. 1) you will actually build it. 2) you will meet someone who you get along well with, who will build it with you.
