		<description>My assumption is that most ideas have as a goal the solution and/or facilitation of a specific problem, which is usually related to a physical &quot;challenge&quot;. 

For instance, your example (&quot;a useful workshop facilitation methodology&quot;) has as a primary goal the facilitation of a workshop. Thus you will be able to measure the effectiveness of your idea by evaluating the methodology in the context of a workshop. 

In my opinion, the website (process) is a way to formalize the idea process, to think with &quot;one head&quot;, and to monitor and document the process in real-time.  

Most ideas are conceived by a person or group of people based on 1) a problem to be solved, 2) ideas who have solved the problem, and 3) on the successes and failures or others.  These are usually done informally.

The beauty of this concept is that every idea, whether it takes us to the solution or not, is valuable and tracked in real time.

You have given the proper basis for discussion. The next step is to conceive a more formal Design Specification document or, as you say, directly start with a simple blog or wiki. 

The more structured you make it at the beginning, the easier will be to manage and expand it in the future.

The issue of authenticity (of user, date, etc) can be guaranteed by a digital signature.</description>

		<description>Hi Uri. Amazing.  Such a pleasure to see someone thinking along the same lines.  I think what might be even more successful than having simple reviews of the ideas, is to have a Technorati style system for monitoring people who link to and credit the idea.  I think the main obstacle to people sharing their ideas is feeling that they might not get credit for them.</description>

		<description>Hi,
I like what you wrote, me and a friend thought about this alot for a while (before I saw this blog), and made a web site exactly for the purpose of sharing ideas. I was looking to see what google will bring for openpatents, and I ran in to your blog. There is also a site called openpatents.org, but that deals with software. And we thought we were the first ones to make up this name...
Any way, please have a look, I would love to hear what you think! - www.openpatents.net
Best regards,
Uri</description>
