This seems like a good application for a model like CrowdTilt, as long as you are able to design and estimate the cost accurately. https://www.crowdtilt.com/ https://www.crowdtilt.com/ It would have to operate as more of a bounty system, maybe let programmers/companies bid on the project first to determine the $ goal. There could even be "stretch goals" with additional features added, or at certain contribution levels you get to request a specific feature. I am not sure how this could be turned into a "living project" in which people can continue contributing funds in order to have additional features added.
