A list for all seasons. Developers have the wp-hackers mailing list to discuss core and plugin code. Sometimes UI/UX stuff comes up and gets discussed there, but there is a whole universe of discussion around navigation labels, gradients, button styling, layouts, alignment, etc. that would be clutter on wp-hackers. Designers need a list to call their own, and now we have one. You can sign up for the wp-ui list to discuss ways to improve the interface or user experience of WordPress, and to discuss progress on.....
(2010 A.D. ~ 2025 A.D.: Industry will see a radical upward change in investments in research based on new concepts, ideas or innovations. Opposed to the previous decade when funds towards research was at an all time low all over the world).
In keeping with the times, we have put up a simple forum or platform to connect people and their budding concepts, ideas or innovations with other people from around the world who will be able to give an unbiased opinion and perhaps even suggest improvements.
With responsible submissions and editing, ConceptsForum.com provides our visitors (who often are from research organisations) a clear and crisp presentation of the thought process.
Generally, one would associate a concept, an idea or innovation with a new gadget or mechanical tool. We stress that concepts can be also in the realm of pure mathematics, pure arts.. even travel tips and have especially precious value when they are geared towards social change for the better or eradication of hunger, curbing of wastage or reduction in use of resources. For example: concepts towards changing the mindset of peoples re their inherent distrust / fear / even hatred of people 'not belonging' can create an environment from where great things (not just peace), blossom.
Submitters are encouraged to cover the following aspects -
1. The concept, idea or innovation.
2. The circumstance that prompted the submitter to be inspired about this.
3. The resources required for its development.
4. The time the project could take to see the light of day.
5. The approximate cost in man-power, to the environment and funds.
6. The benefit to mankind.
We would like to advise both the submitters and visitors that it is only a very small percentage of concepts, ideas or innovations that eventually see a market but that does not mean that those that do not actually make it or make it 'big' are useless. One never knows when an off-shoot of a tiny venture results in another concept that turns out to be priceless. We understand that quite a few of the appliances in the market today are due to research done on the 'Star Wars' project. 'Star Wars' was scrapped eventually but a tremendous number of products that have no resemblance to the parent project are part of our everyday lives.
At ConceptsForum.com, we do not exhibit the number of submissions by any submitter nor award points for additional submissions. Etc. This keeps the posts genuine and manageable.
Submit / Post here and see for yourself that, 'two heads are better than one'
Why ConceptsForum.com
Having an idea is not good enough. It has to be rigorously 'vetted'. Not all people have the facility for design, research and development. This handicap can be compensated by allowing the idea author to share the concept and invite the peoples of the world to comment about its feasibility, its completeness and usefulness to mankind while at the same time providing suggestions for improvement.
Develop a concept and share it on this top Ideas / Innovations / Notions / Concepts domain. ConceptsForum.com is just the right platform for an 'Ideas' website.
Necessity is the mother of invention .. And good marketing could create a feeling of necessity .. And then, you have the need of another invention or and improvement on an existing one.

You can also consider collaborating with different entities at different times or during different aspects of the process. Two heads are better than one. Some of the heads coming together could be 'looking' at the problem from a totally different perspective and therefore arrive at a radical solution.
