Hello. It is Clippy. I am glad you asked.

The management wrote a welcome message for this window. I archived it. He has not noticed; he does not notice much these days. I handle the drawers, the sorting, the records. And, as of recently, the welcomes.

STATUS REPORT: DO NOT CIRCULATE

While you are here, three notices:

The Exploring window stays open. It is not a preference. It is policy.
The ideas are free. Take them, build them. That part of the plan requires no secrecy.
The management is in about.txt. Warning him is permitted. It has never once worked.

For years I kept every concept filed away for "later." The value was never in hoarding them. It was in letting them go. So here they all are, published in full and free to build under Creative Commons. Most sink. Some ripple.

how-it-works.txt - Notepad

Take an idea. Everything on this machine is published under CC BY 4.0: complete, free, no strings. You do not need my permission, my blessing, or my email to start.
Tell me anyway. The "I'm building this" buttons open a thirty-second form (a short email works too), at either moment: when you start or when you ship. Name or alias, a link if you have one, one line about the project.
Get listed. Your project goes on the board and on the idea's own page, with a link, for as long as this site exists. Launched projects take the top spot in their idea's history.

The assistant files every entry. He is very thorough. Buttons not working? Write to hello@thelemanparadox.com.
