If you filed to become a non-profit could people "donate" their engineering time as a tax write off? If you find out the legality of something like this and make it easy to do that could inspire a lot of collaboration on the project and I can see a bunch of other areas (outside of search) where services could be provided like this. I'm also sure having a non-profit would also make it easier to find cheap hosting which is a large part of the cost there.
