If anyone has a project we can add it to a "wish list" for dev/art/production/idea help. As you load your small flex based AIR app that allows to create "job" or "idea" postings.
A job would be a gig that actually has a budget and has some room for people to be brought in at a later decided rate. A idea is something that a collaborater has and would love help with, hopefully the golden rule can kick in and collaboraters will excel at taking on "ideas" from fellow collab members as they see that their really is an equal and opposite reaction to every action.
If a collab member could simply see and idea in a AIR app it would kill all the pitch time between members. The team could generate singular brainstorm sessions that would later save time when the first meeting about the job or idea finally happens. With an AIR app running all of this would happen as easy as gmail. They would just appear at your desktop waiting for you to have a free second. Hopefully we will kill the pressure of having to respond to a direct email or the pressure of "not doing your part" if you never have time for idea's and can only actively seek Jobs.
The interface would be a simple cloud based concept the ideas are at the base(_y = 0)of your desktop(e-wall) as they appear on the server the longer they are on the server the higher _y property is. This will allow for a new idea to not be a top level need or annoyance. As an idea or job is formed it's base level creation will be represented by the place on screen. We all know that we build on great ideas and they become amazing ideas... we then take those amazing ideas and hopefully with the right level of collab interaction will develop something revolutionary.
The team/members is what drive this application. A member would have to actively take ideas and jobs no matter what the scale is directly to the AIR app b/c with a team of involvement we will always have a larger collaborative effect. The fear of you idea being to lame or the job not paying enough is exactly what we have to steer clear of.
The Z axis can be combined to show activity of the community. The more hits the idea gets and the more activity it recieves the closer to the screen it appears. If an idea is never touched it will be back in the background waiting for someone to realize it has been almost forgotten.
