The Problem:
take these ideas out of the glass case and let them grow
The Social Invention:
FULLY DYNAMIC GIB.
i like the seed and plant metaphor, ideas here should be able to change and grow all the time, and also produce seeds that will grow on their own! with everyones contributions, these ideas should have a life of their own.
IDEA COLLABORATION (growth):
adding to an idea.
allow users to add posts INTO original idea (with permission of original author AND/OR allow automatically and let people vote it on or off)
(new text will be a different color with a popup showing who made it and when)
IDEA SPLITTING (seed):
there are many ideas (such as this one) which has multiple ideas in it. i suggest we should be able to highlight a paragraph and vote for it to become a new thread of its own. (afterwards, that area could be highlighted and have a popup voting box and note stating its been nominated and how many votes it has)
more gib improvements...
VOTING FOR COMMENTS TO BECOME A NEW IDEAS
VOTES FOR BEST COMMENTS (best comments could stay on top?),
COMMENTS ON COMMENTS (branched)
GIB FORUM FEATURES:
there are alot of forum functions that would be useful here. i would like to see members names hyperlinked to their user profiles with some contact info, a short about me section, links to all their ideas and comments.
as soon as i saw GIB i knew it was something special, lets make it even more so! lets take a million minds and shake up these ideas until they are perfect and complete!
