Idiki: a wiki of ideas.

Idiki is a wiki of ideas organised in categories.

Anyone can add and expose their idea. The first which proposes an idea can also choose its name, then everyone can improve and extend it.

The Idiki name is the union of the word "idea" with "wiki" and is also a Basque word, which means "to expose".

Why?

Idiki is the natural evolution of the philosophy of global, distributed and uncontrolled information.

Ideas can't be possessed.

The idea is the fundamental element of all human inventions. Without the idea of the free software, today there wouldn't ever be the GNU Project and the General Public license (GPL).

Ideas, even in these days, are often closed and secretly hidden! For example, a programmer will rarely share an idea in public when beginning or continuing the development of a related project; even when released under the GPL. This negative attitude prevents the rapid growth and improvement of ideas. The same holds for the other sectors of human information. There is also a good chance that an idea has already been "invented", perhaps by hundreds of people in different places around the world! Moreover ideas generates other ideas.

Idiki is an instrument that provides an effective way to share, develop and refine ideas.

Idiki will reach its highest potential when "inventors" understand that it is useless to work alone and to hide their ideas. Newly "discovered" ideas build on other people's ideas, so there is a need to recognise this inter-dependence at the outset and to share new ideas globally ....... possibly here on Idiki.

Licenses

The one who publishes his idea on Idiki, can decide to use any "free" license (i.e. CreativeCommons) to warrant the paternity of the document written by himself. It's important to note that an idea cannot be created by anyone and for this reason it cannot have any copyright, instead, it's right to write the one which published the idea for the first time.
