So, there's a bounty list for Devcoin development here, where they will pay you AFTER you create something. You can find the list here:

But I think we need a reverse program, where we come together to fund the projects BEFORE they happen... And we can accomplish them as a community. It's going to take a long time, but I think we should get 5+ (hopefully like 50+ one day) writers and each of us do a "tithe", like donate 1-10% of your Devtome earnings every round, and get a "producers credit". Like if we build something, you would get a stone with your name on it somewhere, or if we made a record label or media something, you would get a literal producers credit.
I'm not asking anyone to donate anything yet, this thread will start with discussion, and I'll make the first donation, and even the first few donations if no one else wants to donate. But hopefully over time we can make this real.
Here are some of my personal ideas for projects to fund:
Let's talk about this stuff, and getting it done Devbook- A Mix between Facebook and a Genealogy website.
Devxchange- A Devcoin exchange website, possibly with a section where people can post projects that need funding through donations and loans
Devtest- Surveys and Contests for devcoin
Devlist- Craigslist, but things are for sale for Devcoins
Devsino- Devcoin Gambling
DevATM- An ATM where you can insert cash and get Devcoins on a USB (even just a machine that is constantly hooked up to a Devxchange that accepts credit card as USD funding)
Devblog- A place to post blogs and vlogs, like blogger for Devtomers
Adev- A 'company' that puts ads in videos and on websites and pays the host in devcoin.
Devseed- A program to freeze seeds of all the Earth's plant species for preservation through an "apocalypse" scenario
DevIsland- An island that is rented out, and Devcoins are bought with the money to stimulate the Devcoin economy, and Devcoin events can be held there for free
Devid Card- A Machine that can aaccept USBs, allowing for payment in Devcoins in regular stores
Devtel- A Hotel that is half free, half paid, paid customers pay in Devcoin which stimulate the devcoin economy
Devtome Brick & Mortar- A place that is half library, half bookstore. Purchases and fees are paid in Devcoin

Devair- Devcoin radio, same as DTV but radio
DevPAC- A Devcoin funded political ad campaign
Dev for Humanity- Apartments built that are completely free, but some of the rooms will contain just mining servers to fund it
Devstate- A university, and eventually city/township, then eventually county, and maybe even a state one day
