h a l f b a k e r yI like this idea, only I think it should be run by the government.

A week to bump your best ideas that fell
through the cracks when the bakery was not
hoppin'. Users should be limited to 2 bumps
of their own ideas and the title should be
edited to include '[bump week]' during the
week so as to avoid confusion. I wouldn't rely
on bakespersons to limit the
bumps, but
other users to call the abuser on their error.
whataya think?
BUMP!

If you really REALLY want some buns, then this may be for you. [theleopard, Sep 25 2007]

I'm pretty sure I've seen this before, but it
was a few years ago, and I couldn't find
the idea to just bump it. |
|
| |
I prefer 'naturally' triggered bumps; Say you find out something new that relates to the idea in an interesting way, or finally come up with that jawdroppingly funny comeback to an anno someone made 18 months ago - that kind of thing... |
|
| |
I prefer those too, but if you had an
idea you thought was genuinely good,
which only got like 4 annos and then fell
though the cracks, its hard to reference
them later. I enjoy the annos people
leave on my ideas, good or bad, and I'd
like the opportunity to have people's
input on them again. |
|
| |
but I didn't want to just do it without
asking, hence this post. |
|
| |
apparently this is bun-envy week on the HB. |
|
| |
Anyone envying my buns should get out more. |
|
| |
can't say as i noticed your buns. i'll run to your user page now and check them out.... |
|
| |
(later) is that a bone in your pants or are you just happy to see me? ; ) |
|
| |
How about a week where we stop obsessing about votes and popularity? |
|
| |
The idea here, at least for me, isn't
motivated by buns, but by annos. I have a
few ideas which I liked, but wasn't sure
about some aspect of the science, or just
wanted some input from a non-biased
source. I enjoy the anno's much more than
the votes. |
|
| |
but if jutta says no, then I'll delete this in a
few hours. |
|
| |
Fair enough.
But if everybody does that at the same time, your ideas will fall through the cracks just the same! |
|
| |
You could mention the idea in your profile text ("Looking for something to do? Help me with the physics on <your idea name here>. <restatement of problem>.") That way, people who are actually looking can know where to go - and once any one of them annotates, the idea automatically gets more attention. |
|
| |
Maybe there should be a platform other than the front page where people who are looking for actual engineering help, rather than laughs, can advertise? |
|
| |
Do you mean to tell me that there's a difference between actual engineering help and laughs? All those years wasted... |
|
| |
//Maybe there should be a platform

|

I like that. I'd like a 'Copy Idea to
Engineer Review' button, so that it
remains as is in the regular 'bakery, but
is also listed somewhere special. |
|
| |
//But if everybody does that at the

|
| |
I didn't think of that. Good point, as
usual. |
|
| |
How bout something similar to the
oolong..... thing where you can add a
word on your profile page allowing
users who are bored with the drivel that
occasionally fills the front page can
look for something a little more
technical to exercise their minds. |

[Ian], Will you write my ideas for me from
now on? you have a much better way of
stating my ideas than I do. |
|
| |
The HalfBakery's 'local links' - i.e. links from an HB idea to another HB idea - are, I think, a route to making people think about an idea in the context of related ideas rather than being bound by only having visibility of the ideas at [Ian]'s "cursor of active discussion". If this is done effectively (and the obstacle here is the labour of authoring these links) it moves readers from the temporal
this-was-posted-after-that view to a view based on semantic relationships. At last, a HalfBakery discussion which my PhD thesis is relevant to... |
|
| |
How about an option to mark your own ideas "Comments Requested". |
|
| |
This would put the idea on the top of a "Comments Requested" page that is separate from the "Recent" page or the "Top 3" page. It could languish there until someone annotates it (moving it over to "Recent") or other "Comments Requested" ideas push it off the page. |
|
| |
I'm thinking a tag like ' boingbchakbchak'
which could be placed in the annos of an
idea when it reaches an engineering
impasse. I'm going to post a separate idea. |
|
| |
//At last, a HalfBakery discussion which

|
| |
whats your PhD. in and what was your
thesis on? |
|
| |
Not keen on the the self-obsessive aspect of this idea. However, I can see merit in having a week where the 'bakery front page consists solely of the 'random' button.
//semantic relationships//
Is that like having a Jewish uncle? |
|
| |
boingbchakbchak idea has been added..

gr.: At last, a Halfbakery discussion to which my PhD thesis is relevant. |
|
| |
I say lets bring back pedantism. |
|
| |
//a platform other than the front page
where people who are looking for actual
engineering help, rather than laughs,
can
advertise// Ooh! Ooh! Yes please! For
purely selfish reasons, I'd love the
opportunity to ask for suggested
solutions
to various problems. I'd also enjoy
trying to help solve problems. Maybe
just as a
category? (But, at the same time,
maybe
this isn't what the HB is for, and maybe
it
would detract from what it it. So I'm
not
sure.) |
|
| |
Max- see the linked [marked-for-
engineering]. I think an open forum to
ask for suggestions to a problem is
outside the bakery however, if you find
a place for that, let me know. |
|
| |
I'd be interested to hear what problems
you're looking for solutions to. I'm at an
engineering school right now and I'm
always looking for challenges. shoot me
an e-mail (can be found on my
webpage linked from my profile) |
|
| |
//I think an open forum to ask for
suggestions to a problem is outside the
bakery// Yeah, on reflection I half agree
with you. I thought maybe just a regular
category might not be too intrusive and
would stimulate some interesting
discussions, but maybe even that would
not be appropriate. My particular
problems of the moment are more related
to [bio]chemistry than engineering, but
thanks for the offer! |
