I'm very much for this and have been running POSH this way for a long time, I think as long as a project isn't solely benefiting a single entity but Hive as a whole, we should definitely throw votes to help fund it - especially if it doesn't require too much funding.
We're kind of in a liquidity crunch with POSH recently as @nomnomnomnom (our 0 fee liquidation account for @redditposh) but as soon as that becomes self-sufficient with the powerdowns we're looking to raise funds for different things again. I'd also be interested in helping out with votes as long as there's transparency on usage of the funds and some ideas I deem to be valuable and worth the cost to test out in an attempt to bring value back to hive one way or another.
