I think I see what you're getting at here - people donate their time and skill to a certain project and in exchange get the same kind of perks you can get from a Kickstarter campaign. Instead of crowdfunding it becomes crowdbuilding. Open source development for the masses. I like this idea. I could get behind this sort of project.

It's a novel idea, and you could almost say that's what GitHub (or open source in general). People donate their time and efforts, and in return they get to partake in the finished product. I'm not sure how well I see this working outside of the software world. I suppose people could do copywriting, legal, financial, art, design, etc etc for a project. But then you have to differentiate who's actually contributing meaningful results, who's just wasting time, who's causing more harm than good, etc etc.

  >you could almost say that's what GitHub (or open source in general) Yes, but that's only for developers (or, in some cases, designers). With OP's idea, it could be anybody... music composers, film editors, developers, historical experts, etc.
