Perhaps a creative way to get listed on a centralised exchange is for a mining pool to set aside a portion of their 'fee' to be used as a fundraiser for a particular exchange? And for users to also have the choice to donate to this fund (in case they aren't miners)?
Even if it is just 0.5% of their mining pool fee, it could get enough momentum to get on some mid sized exchanges. Would also be a win for the mining pool to attract new miners, who want to help build ravencoin while doing something they would be doing anyway (that is, mining).
It would need to have transparency behind it, where people can independently verify that the pool fee is going to a fund, which will be used for a specific exchange who has publicly agreed to list Ravencoin once the relevant funds are raised.
Just a thought
That is actually a great idea ...
We would be happy to do so for our new Pyroxene (theMINE) platform for RavenCoin (http://pyroxene.chainworksindustries.com/).
We need to maintain our 0.7% for the pool, but if we up the percentage, anything over and above the 0.7% fee will be put aside in a unique RVN cold wallet, and when and agreed amount is reached, we can trade them off for the amount required for the inclusion into another exchange. Our pools are new and on new servers, so we would need a number of miners moving in to do such a thing, but we will keep that wallet as a 'CWI Community Wallet' which cannot be touched for any other use.
Let us know if anyone would be behind this method and if so, we could start it as immediately as community consensus allows.

Great! I'm glad you like the idea.
Even if you made your pool fee 1%, you could have 0.7% pool fee and 0.3% to fund an exchange. 1% total pool fee is comparable to suprnova so that should be a good sweet spot. Also with a 'tracker' of how close we are would help get the community on board.
There would need to be an exchange mostly lined up so miners know that the funds are going towards an exchange they'll actually use. I know the going rate on larger exchanges is quite high, so you could also consider new upcoming exchanges, depending on community consensus. For example, I think there is potential in trade.io platform which is expected to release this month.
I only have a small 6gpu mining rig, but would be happy to point it at your pool if you go down this path
