I don't think there's any amount of money that could convince me that k1ngp1n's project wasn't going to turn out a total train wreck.
While I don't really have any spare time, I think the most important thing I'd look for in a potential project are:
* Well presented. If you can't take time out of your busy schedule to present your ideas properly, I can't take time out of mine to care.
* Well thought out. If your idea has glaring, obvious flaws and/or no pervasive train of thought, it's not going to instil confidence in your ability to pull this off, and I'm probably going to pass.
* Existing IT infrastructure. As a minimum the project needs a Subversion repository and some sort of issue tracking and wiki type collaborative document system. Like say Trac.
Normally I'd charge about £70 and hour for consultant work, but if it's in a time where business is slow anyway, I could be persuaded to give a discount and/or a fixed price for subcontract work.
Other than that, I have plenty of my own projects to work on, before even considering committing time to someone else's.
