Publish or perish

If you have ideas to share with others, publish them immediately in a public forum, or they may perish from this earth. This applies to philosophical ideas, criticisms or assessments, practical feedback on a specific project, and seeds for collaborative works over time.

Sometimes people have ideas that they write down privately, hoping to eventually publish them once they are finished -- but we have dozens of readers and thinkers for every writer, and many of them have comments to contribute to these half-finished ideas. --Sj talk 11:14, 7 June 2008 (EDT)
