Brilliant. A Wiki for ideas.

Now ideas really can come from anywhere. Idiki has been developed by Freaknet, a group based in Casania. The site uses the Wiki model to expose ideas so that anybody can try to improve and extend them. Idiki is obviously an acronym for ‘idea wiki’ but it’s also a basque word that means ‘to make public’. How neat. The process is potentially quite brutal for ideas — opening them up to the rigours of mass collaborative editing — but Idiki is also based on the principle that ideas can’t be owned. Not now, anyway.

It also needs you to feed it.
