Halfbaker Co-Inventor Category

 Two Halfbakers, one idea. Encourage cooperation.

Two bakers create an idea together it can be entered under both of their names. It doesn't happen much but it would be kind of cool to see this thing encouraged.

Only happened with me once, but it's one of my favorite ideas. (link)

So the category would be "Halfbakery: dual inventors" and it would have an entry for both nom de plumes and could be searched for by that info.

Everybody's first search would have obviously been Max / 8th back in the day.

       Although the idea is good, I don't think having a category for it would work, because the idea will usually fit into a category of its own and that would make it harder to find.   

       You could just credit the other 'baker at the bottom?

       Yea, you could, I just like the idea of having a specific place to put the rare co-invention with the idea of spurring more such cooperative efforts.   

       There was something very satisfying about having Max add the Zorbs that took my sort of impractical dynamic water idea (that was sort of like a cartoon that bounced you around like you were a fish in a Disney cartoon) and made it actually practical.   

       It's also something that happens quite frequently, somebody posts an idea "Grind coffee" and somebody else says "What if you poured water over it?".   

       So you'd post your idea, team up with another HBer and move it to the co-invention category. So maybe the specific name thing isn't necessary, could just change the title.   

       See nine? Great example, you just simplified it. Co-invention right there.

       Rather than a second category, perhaps an (invisible when left blank) co-author, attributions, and contributors section on each idea
