Definitely a crazy idea.
But a GOOD sort of crazy.
I REALLY like this idea -- now, I'll be honest and
admit that I don't think it would actually WORK
(in the sense of making money). It's hard enough to
get people to volunteer to come to sprints to work
on an open source project (although PyPy is doing
QUITE well at it), but getting them to PAY to do so
is really stretching credulity.
But I LOVE the creativity of this idea... maybe there
IS some way to make use of it.
