Absolutely! That's why we're trying to make this as open as possible. Anyone who wants to contribute in any way is more than welcome!
I think the Foundation will go a long way towards making it appear "legitmate" to the likes of devs or big entities like Microsoft, like Kieran mentioned. Then, we can start a hackathon or raise some bounties to try to fund this project.
The fact that we have schools already seriously considering this is huge, especially considering how young Steem really is. I just can't wait to see this all get off the ground!
Essentially, Steemit.com is just a big crowdfunding platform of sorts. I post something and supporters "pay" me by upvoting. Revenue could be raised for your project(s) by anyone wanting to by using a special tag and declaring an intention to donate the proceeds to the project.
It would be helpful if content they create for it would benefit the project some way. But doesn't really have to. An article or tutorial about node js could create funding, but also be instructional material for the school as well.
