I have an idea but no time to build it. So I'll throw it out there and see if anyone does it.

How many times have you had an idea that just couldn't get off the ground without a little assistance. Where do you go? How to "pay" them for their work? Etc.

The development community needs a place where you can volunteer to help with side projects and get paid in karma... which you can then later use to "pay" other developers to assist on a side project of your own.

We are already a community that loves to give back, and collecting fake internet points. Why not put those to good use?

    @RazorSh4rk upon the project going live... contributors are given karma. Your over complicating it.

    @RazorSh4rk when you sign up you get some initial karma points, plus some karma points when your project gets popular or something like that

    Yes, something like 100 karma points to start with.

    @k1rushqa that makes sense. It would be easy to tell whose given back their fair share. And would prevent you from getting too far without having to give back to get more karma.
