I recently read an article on HN about how the value of an idea comes from execution, not from just having it. That ideas bounce around a lot before they finally find a good home. It was such a romantic image that I now feel compelled to inspire you with some sort of nascent idea.
Unfortunately, I have nothing ready.
But, off the top of my head... I think the world is missing a lot of tutorial-ized scripts. That is, a lot of download-able programs, especially programming-related ones like languages (Ruby/Node/Python/etc) have install scripts that make changes to your system when you install.
I think it would be cool to have a "tutorial-ized" version where the installer explained why it was doing things as it did them.
Of course, that would require someone with know-how to augment the script. And it would be a nightmare to maintain. But perhaps a useful learning tool / way to disseminate knowledge.
