Certain types of volunteer work. If I had an enormous amount of time (and some other resources, obviously) to work with I (and hopefully many others) would implement Pubwan, which is to say, amassing large nonproprietary datasets populated and curated by volunteers and placed in the public domain. Salary transparency projects are the most interesting thing I've already seen done. I also have an interest in any type of empirical, actionable economic data, such as transaction data from the retail point of sale, or the big daddy, parsed representations of contractual catches in consumer financial products such as credit cards and insurance policies. Do for data what open source was supposed to do for software. That is my dream, really.
