How about you start your own open source project as a designer and try to recruit developers to do the coding? Never seen this approach before but it might be worth trying.

A common myth-let is that you start an open source project and people just come streaming out of the woodwork to work on it. The reality is that you are in stiff competition with thousands of projects for relatively rare resources. The global outcome is good, the local outcome is generally developer starvation. A developer with little more than mockups and no code to speak of is not going to win this competition, even with a truly stellar mockup.
