Discussion of this has been on the other forum a lot, but it has died off on both.
The idea is a dedicated website for allocation of the dev fund. (And I may be taking some liberties with the idea here) Community members submit ideas for programs or projects along with how much cash it should be worth along with (or without) a deadline. These submissions are voted on, and the most popular end up in a top 10 or 20 list. When a developer fulfils this 'request' in a manner sufficient in the eyes of the community, they collect the bounty.
An example (not exactly) of this idea would be the old DS wifi bounty, where people donated money and milestones were set up. When a person submitted the documentation or libraries, they got paid. This turned many people onto the project, and in short order they had very good libs that are still in use today (as a part of devkitpro).
Ideas could be anything from an open source SGX driver to game ports, anything people wanted.
I think it is an idea that shows promise, but I could just be caught up in the democratic process this week...
