Here's the dish-- I'm Jon, I'm a comic writer and gaming nerd from highschool onward.  I've written a comic called Virtuoso.  It's a Creative Commons (Attribution, Share-Alike) licensed book, so that means you can distribute it to whomever you feel like it.  Now, while there's a large crossover between gamers and comic fans, I'm not here to directly pitch the book.

Right now I have a Kickstarter ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/876624806/virtuoso-book-one ) going-- the online equivalent of holding your hat out and getting a dancing monkey.  If I manage to get the funding going, I'm opening up something called the Virtuoso Compendium, a wiki that will let the audience create and interpret the history of the world.  What's more, because it is licensed under Creative Commons, anything you create there can be sold.  Clothing, art, fiction, jewelery and even, of course, games.  I already have a clothing designer (Lastwear clothing), and jeweler (Improbable Cog) and a Maker (Jake von Slatt) designing real-world items based on the setting.

What I'm trying to get a feeling for here is gauging interest.  The prospective game designer gets a few leg ups by working under the Virtuoso tent-- a built in audience, a diversity of talents, and the ability to make money from your work.  And unlike other licensing agreements, you have creative freedom with the sole caveat that everyone else has the freedom to alter your work too. 

I just game a speech at the Seattle Open Up conference at http://openup.seedspace.org/, where I gave my spiel to the brilliant people there.  The video should be up soon.  You can take a look at the comic (or download it as a .cbr) right here:

Now, to address the Edwards Dictum ("What's it about?"), I'm going to knowingly cop out.  It depends on the designer.  Maybe they want to model the political Intrigue of the comic book, making it into a sort of long-form Fiasco where the players are all Matrons of Corporate houses, trying to throw enough Dirt to break the other guy's Powerbase.  Or maybe the players are soldiers in the Expansion Wars, trapped in an endless nonsensical cycle of assault and retreat, where Exhaustion and Stress set you up for the fall.  It's an old way of designing software applied to the pen and paper.

What kind of game are you hoping gets designed? What would you (or what do you) play?

Actually, Jon, I was also wondering what Spring Punk is. Google cleared it up, though.
