I have a concept sitting in <that folder with all the ideas> that is pretty high on my list of "man, I want to make this happen" but would need a team to execute on.<p>The idea is to integrate the kickstarter model with github's issues (specifically, feature requests). You run an open-source project and people can submit feature requests that come with a fundraising campaign.<p>When someone wants the software to do something new (support a new platform, implement an interface, etc) they draft a campaign a la kickstarter, someone who can contribute to the project negotiates with the drafter pricing, targets, and stretch goals.<p>Past this point, it's the drafter's responsibility to do the marketing for the campaign and raise funds. Once the target $ amount is hit, it's on the person who picked up the contract to get the work done.<p>There are, of course, a ton of details to work out, and executing on this is going to be resource-intense on a number of vectors that aren't necessarily technical (legal, finance, hosting costs). Also, I suck at UI. The business itself would naturally be a non-profit.<p>addendum: I also have a day job that I have no intention of leaving, so factor that in to time-to-completion.
