I think it would be a good idea to create a specific section for Smart contracts on the CounterParty forums. At the moment most of the knowledge and community discusssion are to be found on Ethereum-centric boards.

The section can:
-Focus on general smart contract discussion
-cover an introduction to building & deploying a simple smart contract, with a 'hello world' test as well as links to useful resources for those playing with the technology
-Include a subsection for bidding on smart contract writing
-Include subsection for the showcase & trade of smart contracts/ smart contract lego-brick logic (whether it be snippets found online or new creations by freelancers)

I'd expect this ecosystem to broaden over time, and skilled Freelance smart contract writers to come into an increasing demand in future. Having CounterParty forums as one avenue they can congregate seems beneficial to both creators and consumers.

Especially with the introduction of multisig, it would be a cool idea to build a relatively simple 'smart contract' kickstarter/reverse kickstarter on top of CounterParty, where community can collaboratively chip in funds to realise the development of smart contract dApps.
