.. and about 500 million other places already offer this :)

One suggestion would be to setup something like a "virtual office" where you
could allow users to point their DIDs to their SIP/IAX account on your
server and receive calls, maybe allow free calls to freecall destinations,
voicemail, stuff like that.

As an example of a community project, there's www.voipuser.org which, I
think, had the right idea. They turn their income from inbound calls into
outbound minutes for the community to use. Pretty smart!
