The synergy I would see would be to allow all users that have a bitshares wallet (hopefully many in the future) to buy storagespace with your application. But no idea how to realize that technically...

I appreciate your reply, thank you! Do you think it could possibly be released after 2.0?

Akado, are you asking for us to release it afterwards?  Or just asking when it could possibly be released?
There will be many short segments as opposed to one large documentary.  Later on we'll see about a feature length doc.

Do you still have the media delegates (or two?)? And can you tell how much BTS you have been able to collect up to now?

Answered one of the above questions myself: http://bitsharesblocks.com/delegate/info?name=media.bitscape
What is needed is transparency and actively keeping the community / bts holders up to date on what is done as compared to the initial proposal.
I m a little disappointed that you kept on collecting the funds without keeping  the community up to date on where you are with the initial plan.
I will unvote your delegate. But vote it in again when you find the necessary tools to realise the initial plan

I have thought long and hard about this particular issue and have identified the following requirements:

1.  Every account needs to verify their identity and sign a legal document that converts on-chain debt tracking into legal obligations.
2.  Every user needs to extend credit to their friends / family
3.  Every debt needs to be marked 'for sale' to a debt collector
4.  Allow ripple style payments.
5.  Charge interest on all debts.
6.  Allow on-chain settlement of debt with bitassets.

Once you have that system in place you have almost everything except my secret sauce for making it all go viral

What do you mean by "ripple style payments"?

Anyone interested in addressing the OP? 

Simplifying the question a bit: How would one go about creating "a brownie points style gift economy platform", how much development effort would that be, what type of dev effort would be required (front/end back end), is shareholder approval needed and how would that someone profit from it?

I partly have answers to these questions (see my assumptions in the OP) but I want to have a clearer picture.

I have a very specific question:

How much and what type of (front end / back end) development work is needed to realize a colored coins application (say a brownie points style gift economy platform) if Bitshares (2.0) already supports these features (user issued assets and trading of them). I know you can do all that just by using the bitshares wallet but in order to commercialize it an entrepreneur would need to market it with that specific use case. So a website / webapplication that offers tools for a brownie points style gift economy an without all the added functionality of the bitshares wallet would make sense.

Would an entrepreneur build his own front end /web wallet or would it make sense to customize the bitshares whitelabel wallet?
And do you see a chance that for the above use case (brownie points style gift economy) adding features to bitshares (shareholder approval needed) might be required?
