1. Would be labor intensive, but:
a site (blog?) that talks to people/experts from various industries, quizzing them about problems they face in their daily jobs. Some of these might be solvable by software. It doesn't need to be too detailed, but it would help if it is totally outside of the usual tech stuff - the quirkier the better.
People can pick something from the blog, instead of building yet another project management app.
2. A website that asks a series of questions (skillsets, weather preferences, languages spoken, food preferences, age, educational qualifications etc) and suggests countries/cities to move to. Should also take into consideration special visa privileges (canada-us, nz-aus etc). It would be quite tough to keep the data fresh, for an app like this. but this would be immensely useful, and it can be monetized too. Even if done narrowly (ex: only for software people), it would still be very useful.
I disagree. There are lots of non-software people (other engineers, business people etc) for whom SF is not the ideal destination. They are quite tech savvy, though they might not know how to code. I'm sure they'd use it.
