Idea Wells

Idea wells are an easy way to get out the idea that is on paper or in your head, even if you don't have an existing context for the idea. eg. "the ore from some mountain breathes magic into the world somehow". At this point in the idea many things can be added to it in every direction. What kind of magic? What is the mountain called? Where is this mountain? What world? ... You can leave this up to the other members of the community to decide if they like it, branch some ideas off of it, possibly make a completely flush world with lands and leaders and history. All of this could stem from one good idea that you had in a moment of brilliance (which happens daily).

How do I start?

 * 1) The first thing you need to do is collect some of your ideas.
 * 2) Check out my idea well and how i structure a non-linear chain of ideas into tons of pages that, with a little care in preparation, create an entire open source world. (See the world of Godorand from its home page).
 * 3) Contribute to others ideas and worlds to complete the circle. (Not really required, just nice).

Community Idea Well (aka Sandbox)
For those ideas that don't have a home yet or your not sure exactly what you want to do with your information, drop them in the community Idea Well.
