I would put forward a semi-automated collaborative filtering scheme
that would serve as an extension to the existing list software, and
allow variable geometry community, alternative private moderators, etc.
$10K would buy a full-time developer in Russia (there are other options too,
such as cooperating with CritMail); after the first year or two, the money
can be used to help ExI handle the increased amount of publicity :-)
The list software can be also distributed elsewhere and can become one
of the best PR engines for ExI, or generator of profits. - In the latter case,
the profits may be shared between investors and developers.
If there are people who would take administrative and financial
commitments, I would work on the staged development plan.
One of the alternatives is to convert the list into a newsgroup with
advanced/collaborative filtering - see

for some ideas in this direction.
