And another great offer to the HN community! This is the inverse of kickstarter. Is there a site where you can post these sort of things?

Not yet, but if this succeeds I promise another bounty project to do just that. See idea #32: http://jacquesmattheij.com/My+list+of+ideas+for+when+you+are+looking+for+inspiration http://jacquesmattheij.com/My+list+of+ideas+for+when+you+are... It might have been smarter to do this the other way around but I need this badly and so do at least two other HN'ers.

    I don't doubt the number is actually much lower than 61, that list was made from my 'old' list of ideas I did not go out of my way to check if someone had not gotten around to executing them. It's also good proof that whatever idea you've got someone else will have it too so discussing your idea is not harmful per se. Dallying during the executing phase is a much bigger problem. I've added your find to the list of ideas.

      Ah, I thought you meant it to be a list of things you'd like to see built, so I thought I'd inform you that that one exists already.
      - jacquesm 16y ago
        It is :) But I did not verify if it had not been, that would have been more time that I could spend on it at that moment. I figure if anybody takes one of those the first thing they should do is check if it exists already or not. And even if, they could always do a better job. If you find more of them let me know, I'll link them from the article (multiple implementations also fine).

        Ah, very true.

I have been dreaming for a long time of a site where groups could form around issues, put together a bounty, and administer it collaboratively. I think it was tried once, called bigcarrot.com, and hasn't really taken off. Sad to read at the bottom of the page that they have a patent pending on this. How ridiculous.

  You can't patent a business method. So they can stick 'patent pending' on anything it just won't fly. Also, I've been 'dreaming' along with you for a long long time, mail me please, let's compare notes. I'm not quite ready to go publick with my dream just yet, but if you read the list of ideas linked above you might find the right one.
