I know Silk Road is not the place for this, but I have no idea where I would go to propose starting a new software project for an assassination marketplace web application.
Without more research, my first inclination is to write this web app in Python, and use Django as the web app framework to speed up development.
Django is here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/overview/
Python is here: http://www.python.org/about/gettingstarted/
Any advice on where to go to start a project like this would be greatly appreciated.

What functionality do you want it to have?
BTW, are you the same Raynardine who is posting on tor-talk?

What functionality do you want it to have?
You should be able to:
[*] Create pages on public figures,
[*] Deposit Bitcoins and have the amount credited to your account,
[*] Place bets,
[*] Post comments on pages of public figures,
[*] Search for public figures,
[*] Pull betting statistics,
[*] Pull current odds/futures on public figures,
[*] Register accounts,
[*] Associate Bitcoin addresses with your accounts for payout.
Those are the basic functionality.

My email address is raynardine AT tormail DOT org, and I subscribe to tor-talk, so it's possible.

Betcha those vendors would demand FE. :-X
Seriously though (as seriously as I think this actually is anyway :P) I'd go to the Tor project website and read up on how to set up a hidden service.

If you want others to contribute, you should market / describe it as a betting app that does those things, and not an assassination market. :)
With that out of the way, you could host it anywhere, like Github, and run Git over Tor.
As for the language and framework, that seems fine. A core part of this app would be interfacing with bitcoind, and you can do that in most popular languages, including Python.

This is helpful, thank you.
Now I know I'll need a JSON module.

Although I would prefer giving the public, the people, and the communities on Tor a chance to participate and be engaged in the project, if no one shows any interest, I will develop it by myself, alone.
I wanted to poll people who might wish to participate and contribute to the software project, but if no one wishes to influence the development of this project, I'll happily pursue it on my own.

I think your project is interesting, and if I have time, I might hit you up.
