Hey thanks! Those are some really great tips. Currently we are trying to utilize this equilibrium of
{ share more: get more feedback and possibly great allies }
vs.
{ share less: no feedback, no exposure, it doesn't even appear on the homepage }
but as this is untested, we'll see how it goes. I definitely agree with you though, the IP issue is huge and is/will be one of the biggest things we'll have to deal with.
Regarding the upvote/downvotes, I agree also! I just pushed it up on my task list. :) |

The important and hard part(if you want this to solve problems and create businesses) is to expose creators/entrepreneurs to good problems , and connect them with domain experts and the relevant knowledge.
This way, you leave the details of the solution(IP) private, which should help motivate the creation of a product and a business
By making it as a business creation platform, and highlighting the companies it started, or even the groups that that formed and are working through this, you create a very strong incentive to domain experts(which are usually very busy people, think doctors, lawyers, etc) to publish problems on the platform, preferably in some detailed, and interesting way.
And by having interesting content about really good problems, you gather high quality entrepreneurs and creators, which also post resumes and details about themselfs, to make creating good connections easier.
And by making you're content interesting, you could get much wider readership(which helps with marketing), also among people who are not entrepreneurs but might hold useful knowledge. If you'll figure someway to incentivise them to contribute, the better, but you'll have to be very carefull with signal to noise.
EDIT:also , by creating a different stream of important problems, you create stuff for bloggers/journalists to write about , which is great for marketing.
