Relatively ancient and inactive
I expect contribution from other members on this, but I imagine the script for it will be something like this:
It'll be based on the clan script. Indicators that you're in the 'clan' (project) and rewards would include things like name-additions (For example: DTBK[SM] for DTBK on the SEN MOD team), colored titles/names (but let me keep mine, please), expanded PM/Attachment space, post background (moderated to be tasteful and unobtrusive, of course), and whatever else we can think of. The projects will be managed hierarchically; that is, one person on top can delegate jobs to those below him, and those can be delegated to those below him. So, the hierarchy will be more like a tree and less linear than the current clan hierarchy which is based simply on rank. Projects will be managed by the project manager, who is allocated certain resources as rewards - for example, the DLDB-coding manager can give out one post background, two title color changes and several more PM/Attachment space improvements. For this to work really well, the 'item' system should be adjusted to allow for easy transfer of these rewards, those given for that project, from one member to another. If the person gets the reward and starts slacking off, it can be transferred (tie it to project, though, so the managers can't edit around rewards for other projects).
Other features not present in the clan script that should be implemented (or are present and I don't know them) are, in the project memberlist, a simple "Last Active", a "Project Note" (For example, "going on vacation, brb in two weeks" or "Just sent images to Dev, awaiting feedback") and an activity meter (maybe on a scale of ten, maybe with no limit; not sure) so that the manager of the project, or a submanager of the project, or his submanager, etc, can keep track of activity (increase when he does something, for instance; maybe a note section here too, to allow managers to note what that person has done.). For certain 'projects', like DLDB management, etc, their should be integration with SEN as a whole; for example, it should be able track how many maps a DLDB manager has approved over what timeframe automatically by extracting that information from the DLDB. Giving a project the ability to extract data from other sources like that should be only in the power of the administration, however. Also, the project page should include information about who currently has the rewards given to the group.
Because this system has everything needed for corruption (the rewards are the cash, the managers are the corrupt ones) there needs to be a specific project controlled by someone trustworthy, maybe even the administrator, who will control maybe two or three people to whom members of projects can report "corruption" (for example, a manager that delegates, takes the only post background for himself, and does nothing material for the project). Members of this 'project' will have control over other projects and the ability to replace inefficient (if the SEN observer project doesn't progress fast enough, for example, the manager is likely inefficient) managers.
I think I elaborated nicely. A member will approach the administration with an idea for the project. If approved, either he becomes manager or administration chooses a manager for it, who posts an ad, maybe in a separate script or maybe as a topic, for members. People will say "I'm interested in helping, I can do x", manager will add them. The administration will allow the manager to give out three post backgrounds, two name colors and five title colors. The manager gives them out to those he perceives to be the most helpful and useful members. There will be competition to be seen as very helpful, because people like standing out in a crowd. Productivity will rise. If a member is inactive or doesn't help, the manager has the tools to boot the member from the project and replace him (oh, and log all of these actions). If the manager is corrupt/inefficient, he can be reported to the project-manager-manager-project members, who will look at what's been done, and judge if he's fine or not.
Projects that I can see existing once this is implemented: SEN SCII Map Night, SEN SCI Map Night, SEN SCI Mod Night, SEN Observer, SEN Coders, DLDB Managers, SCII System Creators (to write complicated scripts in Galaxy to allow for advanced functionality for other mapmakers; like WCIII's vJass, or an alternate physics system, etc), maybe even moderators.
None.
