I think we are on the right track, do you have a GIT we can work from?
I'll need a few days atleast because I have backend stuff I need to work on first for paycon. That is only an example of the kind of idea I'm going for and probably the best kind of thing multiple people can work on rather than to go for coin specific kind of stuff.
If OP wants to do a Coin with people, should just get together with some friends and come up with a plan and hardfork or additions to an existing Coin.
