How are ideas licensed?

Thank you for this inspiring repository. I see people are contributing to it with their input, but since there is no licensing all of the ideas mentioned are proprietary, all rights reserved. It is fine if that is your intention, but you may make that more clear. Even better would be if you'd consider giving the repo e.g. one of the Creative Commons licenses (like CC-BY-NC-SA).

34. Bluetooth Friend Mesh

Secure Scuttlebutt may count as an implementation of this idea; it's a peer-to-peer social network which uses WiFi or Bluetooth to sync data when the Internet is down - https://scuttlebutt.nz/

Earthstar is the same idea applied to documents instead -
https://github.com/earthstar-project/earthstar

4. Living documents

My first attempt at this idea was an angular 1 codebase: https://github.com/samsquire/live-interface

• It uses microservices to handle each piece of functionality. Such as the lang identifier is a Ruby service that uses the source classifier plugin. A python codebase powers the semantic tree creation

Tent

I large number of the ideas you discuss are things we had in mind when designing Tent (and are working actively on a few). Let me know if you have any questions about Tent

1. Email metadata

Create This - Potential example.

Could thingsiwantmade.com be a potential example of "Create This"? On the site, people request things (mostly apps) that they want make and bid an amount they are willing to pay for it.

Use Gist To Share Ideas

Hi, nice job.

This is my idea (or suggestion) split Ideas in various gist.
Example:
https://gist.github.com/hugosenari/2507145

The Good:
We can discuss every idea in comments
We can fork one idea

The Bad:
Need to open links for full content
Need to update one list with all

The Ugly:
Don't have preview for on line file edition

Notes:
Sorry my poor English and if I'm not polite

thingsiwantmade.com

thingsiwantmade.com seems to be a SPAM site at the moment. Should be taken away.

QiBud - "widget server"

Hi Sam,

I present you this project, designed firstly as a "collaboration tool"
https://github.com/QiBud/org.qibud.project

The project is currently frozen, but QiBud works as you describe, like a widget server :
a bud (the root aggregate) can be designed (java/script) for being a task, or a project or.. something (a widget)
the buds are interconnected in a graph, that makes interractions (workflows) possible between : buds, team and human, .

Many of your ideas are in the specs, i leave this issue here, like a footprint of a project that fit perfectly in your vision of systems.

See ya,

Sam

8. Command Auto-complete

This is also a nice solution for bash which uses fish-shell: https://github.com/nevesnunes/sh-manpage-completions

9. Elements represent themselves

This sounds like the "presentation types" in Symbolics Open Genera, also available in the CLIM protocol, an active open source implementation of which is McCLIM. (demo 1, demo 2 )

EDIT - I'm not sure if Genera and McCLIM are also examples of 10 and 11. Check out this section of the McCLIM manual - https://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/static/manual/mcclim.html#How-CLIM-Is-Different

The Package Manager-Package Manager

the beginings of which - https://github.com/jrabbit/haberdashery/blob/master/haberdashery.py

There's also PackageKit which is more for apt/yum types.
