What if students could get a stipend to work on Open Knowledge or Open Content projects on their summer off? They wouldn't need to have technical or programming skills -- editorial, graphical, video and other skills would be more relevant. Language, marketing and organizing skills would come in useful, too -- for projects like the wikis I mention above.
It's waaaay too late to make this work for 2008, but it would be interesting to do for Summer 2009. It would probably be possible to get, say, $50K in donations and have 10 $5K stipends granted.
