Oh yeah there is! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TRS80MC10Club

There's even recent hardware (and SOFTWARE) developed for it:

Video's in Portuguese, but in it you see:

(1) A 128 KB memory expansion, which contains...
(2) An Extended Basic ROM, developed by the same author (Darren
Atkinson) of the expansion. One of its functions is...
(3) A serial driver to communicate with a PC and access its file
system. I'm using it to LOADM...
(4) An awesome Pac-Man clone developed in 2006 by a certain Greg
Dionne, which I haven't had the pleasure to interact with.
