A thought: Not everyone can contribute through building apps on Steem, not all Steemians are technically capable for such kind of contribution. Till now all major delegations have been given to app developers while ignoring the community creators.
There are many very nice communities which are already working on the Steemit.com platform itself which are promoting cooperation, group development and overall improving community participation and content quality. Should not a portion of the massive steempower available with Steemit be distributed among the most elegible of these communities? After all, the technology solutions being developed are only means to an end, and that end is not technology itself but improvement of lives.
exactly.
hence, such "delegations" to distinct "applications" would increase the amount of rewards potentially available for different types of contributions - just as dMania has provided funds for people who are making memes, dTube for those posting videos, dSound for musicians, etc...
