I have stumbled across this website years ago, and always found lots of fascinating projects here

Since then ive also noticed that while its a community and people love to collaborate here, the design and layout of the website doesn't seem to lend itself so well to the task of collaborative projects

we really are not making the best of the brain power that's here,

wouldn't  it be great if people could search for projects to get involved in,, and published projects could list people and skills needed to make it happen.
for example if i want to design a low cost wind turbine, to help bring power to remote places,
im looking for engineers, aerodynamic specialists. and 3d designers to help develop it.

Can we have a way to help these people to find each other?  and then an area where work can be set out and people can jump in and fill in the blanks.

With the way the world and consumption of its resources is going, websites like this one, and the power the internet gives us to put our heads and efforts together to solve common problems is going to be vital
