A little more on inventhelp
http://www.ripoffre...ark-inven-bcnce.htm Since almost nobody in this business is sane, I recommend to take both the advertisements and the complaints with large amounts of salt. [jutta, Jul 17 2010]

Doesn't this already exist [link] ? These are the very fellows who send letters back with comments like "...please, mister, for the love of God, stop sending us these Half-Baked ideas..." --- I think they're secretly jealous. |

Yes, but the tongue often slips out of the cheek, and says something useful. If you just take it for what it is and don't ask for anything more than what you get, you might find yourself subtly blessed. |

Kickstarter gives existing projects a forum to find backers, and people with disposable income a place to find goofy little projects to back. It may help projects along, certainly, but it's not so much a teaching/wiki thing. |

Isn't this what we already do with the annotation system here? |

Be gorgeously functional unlikely groups you have heard of read the .5b |

also even I have been approached with funding on an idea (color changing notes) from here I think it was authentic yet Im much too live outside eat from dumpsters ignore grammar to participate which kind of transitions my technology towards highest benefit to humanity |
