Open Source Thoughts
Open Thource
This is the area where you can make your thoughts 'Open Thource'. An Open Source Thought can be large or small, a few lines or a detailed overview. An Open Source Thought will develop under the power of many minds drawing on many different abilities and ways of looking at things to make this Idea of yours possible. Writing your Idea in this area will make it Open Thource and plant a seed that could grow into big things. Even if you believe it will go nowhere, it is worth placing it out there -- as the goes "One man's trash is another man's treasure"

Expanded Thinking
Have you ever looked at something and thought about how it could be improved?
"Why doesn't that have a handle?" or "Wouldn't it make more sense to do it this way?"
Expanded Thinking is a place for you to suggest your idea to improve something that already exists. This area works on the same principles as Open Thource and an Idea placed here will benefit from the same collaborative development.

Limitless
The ability of the mind to wander a fanciful line should not be hindered by the boundaries of simple physics. Limitless is exactly that, without borders or the world's usual constraints. An Open Source Thought that may not be within reach of the world as we know it can be placed in here to ask "What If?"

My Way, Our Way
When eating a bowl of soup, you must always eat from the middle of the bowl away from you, you mustn't slurp and you should never pick the bowl up and drink from it. How have traditions, ethics, morals and ettiquette changed throughout history and how relevant and right are they now? You may have an idea for what is right or wrong with the way. Place your idea in here on the moral fibre of mankind.
Wot you Talking?
You can't be serious all of the time and talking sense is boring after a time. Why would you worry about if it's possible when it is so funny your way. An Open Source Thought that will go nowhere but to the floor with laughter.
