Get paid for improving NetBeans

I finally tuned into this new NetBeans program. If you'd like to make some money and you love to code, you can participate in the NetBeans Innovators Grants. See the page for details, but here's the money quote:
The NetBeans Innovators Grant is a process to provide grants to developers or teams of developers to work on an open source project. A total of 10 large projects will be chosen and awarded a grant of US$ 11,500 dollars. Another 10 smaller projects will be chosen and awarded a grant of US$ 2,000 dollars. Awards will only be awarded upon actual project completion. Projects that excel may receive one of two possible gold awards of US$ 11,000 dollars or two possible silver awards of US$ 5,000 dollars.

Submission deadline is March 3.

This Wiki page shows some ideas for projects already listed (I put in my plug for some database features like SQL command history (small) and database schema refactoring (large)).
