I like the idea but can't personally pay for it :(

I see you have a paper on <http://nixos.org/docs/papers.html>
comparing Nix to other package managers. I think that would be a great
topic for documentation! Maybe a series of short tutorials for people
coming from Debian, Arch, Gentoo, brew on OSX, etc.

Also, long shot idea: we could put together a list of bounties. Pledge
amounts toward particular fixes/goals and then when someone
accomplishes them they post a paypal/bitcoin address to get paid. I'm
not sure how to make it binding or pay up front or resolve disputes
though.
