Here we are now. Distant-Help, the think tank. Now the question, what do we mean with think tank ? Let’s try to define what we propose and what you can expect.
First off all, this place is free, has always been and will be (most probably). What we provide is a framework where you can drop your idea to flourish, evolve, change and hopefully mature.
People from all horizons will see your idea, think about it, maybe even go look around with you, and help you make something out of it. Every idea is an embryo of something, some will become big, others will be small (though small is beautiful) . Nevertheless, each and every idea needs a chance and this think tank is the place to drop it.
But before you start to post an idea, do some thinking as to *how you present it on the forum*. Beware that what you post has to be clear to others. What is clear to you isn’t necessarily to others. If your idea is what we would call a problem, then the following might already help you, and finally those who want to help you. Every idea has to go through a first step, an analysis of sorts.
1. What is the **initial situation**, where do we start ?
2. What is the goal we’re aiming for, or the **result** ?
3. What are the **means at our disposal** ?
And now we can start trying to solve the issue. What path do we have to follow from source to destination with the means we have at our disposal.
This might sound weird and mathematical but it forces you to put a minimum of logic in your ideas. And believe me that this will already brighten the path to success!
Is Distant-Help going to solve every single problem ? Probably not. Depending on the individual idea/problem, it will be answered, discussed, redirected. But at least you’ll have an echo in the think tank. None will be lost. Distant-Help is open to everything, for everybody to participate and brain storm any idea that needs neuron power. Think about it like those little programs used to share the power of all participating computers to solve big problems (Seti, Boinc, Rosetta etc etc). All the little bits added become a big solution.
**Nothing is too small too add up to the big sum.**
Now that we’ve discussed what Distant-Help is, let’s see what DH is *not*:
A place to shout, rant, deny the little ideas. Everyone is free here to express their opinion, please treat everyone and every idea with respect. Remember : your freedom ends when you deny someone else’s freedom. And as long we all keep this in mind, there is no reason to edit, amend posts or even worse, ban people.
This said, welcome to **Distant-Help – The Think Tank**. Enjoy your stay with us, drop that idea you never dared to share and let’s start make something of it.
