How about this: we talked at OCAL recently about coloring books [1]. Once Inkscape is able to create such a book, we put one on sale with an addition of 1 or 2 USD to the price, all profits going to the person who implemented PDF export. I have no idea if this can generate a compelling sum of money (or if it can generate money at all).
I think this is a really cool idea. :-)
Of course we can easily do a connect the dots book too. ;-)
I was thinking more about the calendar idea and have some refinements for it.
At lulu.com people publish all kinds of calendars with a price in the 10-20$ range - http://calendars.lulu.com/browse/
We can do a kind of competition on our deviantArt group to get 12 beautiful images for a 2006 Inkscape calendar just in time for the new year celebration. Or as an alternative, do a calendar using images of our about dialogs screens or proposals for the dialog.
Now is December, the time when people are supposed to buy calendars and an Inkscape calendar can be a perfect holidays gift for geeks (or for our own moms :p ).
