I listened to the mumble recording from last Friday where the below topics were discussed, too.
There is ideas bouncing around on Nullstreet about adding a Bitcoin receive address to a rebranded BitShares lightweight wallet along with support for Shapeshift and Metaexchange. Is this in your wheel house?
I think conceptionally it is pretty clear what needs to be done for this. In such a project I could achieve a high level of efficiency, because it largely consists of modular functionality that is mostly independent from what others are working on. And even if my delegate pay is not sufficient for implementing the whole thing in a short time I can (for example) provide modules for handling BTC transactions and/or communicating with a BTC API server, and leave the rest to someone else.
So yes, I think this is a good suggestion, but since I want to take load off the core devs I will select projects and coordinate priorities with them once I've been elected.
There's also a great discussion about what it would take to add a prediction market in the general thread.
This is also a very interesting project. But in my understanding this is BM's baby (or one of his many ;-) ). Also, conceptionally it seems to be in an early design stage, and this will impact a lot of core functionality. So IMO this is not a project that would be suitable for my position.
