It would be great if that same space had an ability to gauge interest and allow people/​organisations to post bounties for projects they would like see done.
Ie. Someone from FHI posts a request for a deep-dive on topic X and provides a bounty for whoever does it sufficiently well first. Someone from CSER realizes they also would like to know the answer and adds to the bounty as well. Upvotes instead of bounties could be another way to figure out which projects would be valuable to get done.

Agree. This is pretty aligned with my desire for community funding mechanisms.
