The whole reason OpenReview was created was to innovate and improve on the peer review process. If you have ideas, reach out to the program chairs of the conference you're submitting to. Many of them are open to running experiments.
This is why we're building OpenReview. We provide the algorithms and UI to match papers with qualified reviewers for peer review, host the discussion forums, and archive the data after the conference/journal is over. Many of the top ML conferences like ICML, NeurIPS, and ICLR have already switched to OpenReview.
Many DAOs have massive (>$1B) treasuries that are used to fund development and marketing. Developers propose OSS projects and these orgs give out grants based on community votes. See https://gitcoin.co or the Uniswap Grants program for examples.
This covers a lot of what we're building at OpenReview.net. Obviously we still long way to go, but we already have some of the major AI/ML conferences using our platform to accept submissions, perform paper matching, and host peer-review forums.

> - build a free conference organising / review tool that works. EasyChair is popular and utter garbage.
This is what we're doing at OpenReview.net. Obviously we still have a lot of work to do, but we're making progress and are actively looking for more developers that want to help make researchers' lives easier.
Tim Ferriss also mentioned this issue in his recent AMA [1] when discussing why he recently relocated to Austin. He describes it as "a peculiar form of McCarthyism masquerading as liberal open-mindedness." The whole comment is worth reading.
Interesting to see that this is coming from ATAP - the one part of Motorola that Google kept in the sale to Lenovo[1]. I was curious to see if they would merge the ATAP group into Google X, but I guess they're going to keep it separate and just rebrand it as Google ATAP.
