Could be a good opportunity to get some articles written about Peer4Commit - Peercoin is incentivising its developers to work on the core protocol as well as supporting services!
You could the same with Peer4commit (kickstarter style). It is just not enforced and automated in Peer4commit, but you can set up a project requesting all donators to provide a return address. In case the project can’t raise the required funds, the funds can be returned. At the moment we need to trust the fundraiser, but once multi-sig is implemented that is also solved.
I might do a project based on that if something comes up which is suitable.
