Can we get a script request /idea forum?

Can we get a forum category dedicated to user submitted script ideas?
I feel like many people have useful script ideas that probably never get spoken about because they don't feel technically proficient enough to attempt the script yet. Good ideas would probably get a lot of attention/replies and good autohotkey scripters might be inspired to take on a project every once in awhile.

I don't agree with having a request forum, as these forums are for learning and sharing, not hiring interns. An idea forum though would be quite interesting! I do find myself sometimes looking for something new to write, which such a forum would alleviate.

Well, this is a first, a programming forum that is against sharing ideas, lol

Hey dont look at me ;)
I feel people are against a cluttered topic list rather than the "idea of sharing".
I would post in the topic i mentioned (https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=15284)
I would contribute more, If I weren't as busy :b

This thread became a bit of collaboration. The only one I can think of off the top of my head.
Anagrams - AutoHotkey Community
https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic ... 19&t=34240

I would recommend some possibilities:
- post one or multiple ideas in that thread as joedf suggested
- if there's something relevant that already exists, post a query there that will help you get the additional code you require
- if you have one idea, start a thread with your idea, in Ask For Help
- if you have multiple ideas, start a thread listing those ideas, in Ask For Help
