-500K Nxt for a short video describing Nxt, it's green pure POS mining, the colored coins and decentralized p2p exchange features, internal messaging and decentralized DNS, instant transaction option.. all for a general audience.
-100K Nxt for a general article describing Nxt, it's green pure POS mining, the colored coins and decentralized p2p exchange features, internal messaging and decentralized DNS, instant transaction option..
-50K Nxt for the Chinese translation of the above article.
The initial deadline for the video bounty is 15th of December, for the article 5th of December and for the Chinese translation 7th of December!
To get the necessary info (general&technical) of Nxt for developing these projects, you can read the Nxt main thread mentioned in the OP or refer to Cunicula (who helped in debugging the scheme) or Come-from-Beyond.

I suggest splitting the article in to separate writing tasks.

I'm probably better qualified to write about the PoS design than anyone else because I played a role in its design. I'd expect a full 100k bounty for this, largely because I own no nxt. (Lack of gui, lack of whitepaper, need to use blockchain.info to purchase were too big of a barrier for lazy me.) I could do the chinese translation of my section too.

I know nothing about nxt's other features. If you get one person to write the whole article, then the quality will suffer. That's not acceptable.

To facilitate peer review we need:
1) mathematically precise, approachable, and well-written article
2) nxt coders and third party coders to confirm that the source code does what the article says it is supposed to.

Once those conditions are in place smart people can read the article and critique it. This is essential for people to gain confidence in nxt (including me).

Happy to see that you are here to help. We are ready to pay 300K Nxt for a complete whitepaper in the following format:
1-150K Nxt for explaining how its POS works.
2-100K Nxt for explaining the coloredcoin feature and its decentralized implementation in Nxt platform (as BCNext promised it to be this way)
3-50K Nxt for explaining messaging, instant transaction option, decentralized DNS...
If you can't do all the 3 parts, but still can collaborate with Nxt devs to hear from them and finally shape and write part 2 or 3 as well, we can pay 50K Nxt extra in addition to that 300K Nxt mentioned above.
And this is all for the technical whitepaper. About general articles mentioned in OP, those bounties above are still available for anyone to grab!
