Host a site that includes research tools that anyone can use to contribute towards solving a problem. For example, hundreds of engineers who want to do something good for the world outside of their workplace could check out pieces of a system, work on them, then check them back into a repository to
keep refining a product's design and function. This is done with programming languages all of the time.. why not expand it to circuits/mechanics/chemistry/etc. on a free global scale!

Think of the future.. Not just open source software that you can use and modify, but open source products. You help design the next toaster, sofa, robot arm, wireless device, rollercoaster, etc. and make the world a better place for eveyone! |

yes, but this is of a different scale. All kinds of types of projects through one online location. Applets could allow drawing and documenting directly. It would be like the halfbakery is for ideas, but instead with projects that could make some real progress. perhaps the next step for many halfbakery users! :) |

This idea strikes me as a "Paypal" supported portal, where instead of small cash payments to support fledgling ideas, contributors may submit criticism, graffiti, and personalization. |
