$3,000 would pay for my services for a summer. It would for a lot of students. I'd love to have a cool flexible summer job where I get to implement something interesting. Shamelessly i'm putting my name into the hat. I'll build whatever cool thing you want. You're basically suggesting google summer of code on a smaller scale. I'm applying for that too, but its a long shot. XKCD goodies and karma points sure don't help pay for bread, rent or tuition. Or all those other things I would buy if I had a reasonable income.
