codeberg.orgIdea Managment - Ideation, Ideas HubIdea Managment is the first part of the social coding project. The purpose of this subproject is to gather, discuss, contrectize and improve upon ideas. Ideas are used by Community Managment and Project Managment to base their Communities and Projects on. This issue is for the discussion of these non-technical questions (in quotes you find my notes on the question): ### Formats - In what format should ideas be proposable (Text, Video, Image, size limits)? > I'd allow for Ideas being made in any format, Text, Video or Image, but make a character length, time and size restriction. Anymore information might be linked to. ### Discussion, Syndication and Social Networking - How should discussion happen? > While a native UI should exist, creating it's own feeds of interest, ideas should be available across the Fediverse. - How should ideas and discussions be synthesized for people of different interests, orientations and preferences? > Tags and Topics should be added to Ideas and users should be able to follow other users. ### License - What licenses for the ideas can and should be used? - How can license information be communicated? - Should the license of the idea restrict the licenses of the projects based on it? > This is legal stuff. I'm not entirely sure, but it'd probably be safe to include a requirement that any idea be at least CC in order to be added to the Idea Managment. ### Community building - How can you turn an idea into a community & project? > Users might pledge themselves to an idea and once more than one person pledges themselves to an idea, they can create a Community with Community Managment (which then interacts with Project Managment).
