It sounds like a situation where Kickstarter or something like that could be useful.
I sometimes semi-jokingly say that the easiest way for me to contribute to LW code would be to reimplement the whole thing in Java.
If someone would be okay with paying me to do this, I would be happy to try. Not sure if that's the best use of the money, though. Making it open-source would have the advantage that if I fail to complete the project, other people may join or replace me later.
(Why Java? First, that is the only programming language I am sufficiently fluent at. Second, Java has the advantage that the source code is already compiled and loaded in the memory when HTTP requests come, so in theory it should be fast. But I don't have an experience with measuring performance in large projects.)
