Casey, I have posted several project ideas for things people want. Your asking for money makes me focus on things I personally want. My main tech project is to build a robot. I need a Cuis version of the Parallax Propeller Serial Terminal so I can write Smalltalk to control my robot. The current software which is executable only is available here: http://www.parallax.com/ProductInfo/Microcontrollers/PropellerGeneralInformation/PropellerMediaPage/tabid/832/Default.aspx#Software
I don't know if the Linux version has source code to help. For now I need it to run on Windows. A complete function duplication is the first step. What is your bid? Please consider I am also "floored" living in a 1987 RV, no cell, neighbor providing internet. The next step will add a graphics display of the numbers sent and received representing actuator positions and commands. Then possibly a video display of what the robot sees. By then I hope to have a joystick or other control to interface. All this can be published on the Parallax site, Squeak site, or Sourceforge with the MIT license.
