Donate via PayPal to up your idea

This will allow for all sorts of new business models in open source. You can literally buy influence over certain open source projects. So if a company really wants a certain feature, they pay the developers to implement that idea over others. This would definitely not be for every project, but for some, it would be a godsend of a revenue stream. This is a really radical idea so please discuss.

Solution #1: PayPal integration

Allow users to pay a cent for a vote. This feature will obviously be optional, and can be turned off at different levels. (It's not used at all, it's used but the ideas are in a different pool from the non-commercial ones, it's used but the user controls whether or not they view commercial and non-commercial ideas together, etc.)

For example, so users can vote up/down possible versions of a trailer for an open-source movie.
