True, I need this one. Especially as ggdocs is barely impossible to customize.
Re:Latimer: A Wiki Dedicated to Innovation on Wednesday April 05, 2023 @11:59AM (#35456306)
Hi HN, I'm Balla from Latimer lab (latimerlab.com). I'm building a wiki engine similar to Wikipedia, but which focuses on innovation and offers a fee to its contributors.

The state of the art is the current body of knowledge that can solve a problem. Although crucial in the research and development process, it is often incomplete because, faced with the immense amount of accumulated knowledge, teams focus on the same famous and/or recent research, thus limiting innovation and leading to uniformity of approach. This is why we are building an open wiki that allows everyone to bring their unique vision to this state of the art and go further in exploring potential solutions

Latimer contributors are paid in proportion to the quality of their work, as we consider that a good contribution encourages an intense and free discussion in which each member of the group is encouraged to think out loud and suggest as many ideas as possible based on their diverse experiences. The original money is provided by the partner organisation behind the issue.

Latimer allows contributors to freely contribute whatever they like most, and . For example, you can document research, question, critique existing research or explore potential solutions by proposing one from scratch, or by contributing to a solution already proposed by another member. In this way, even slightly unusual ideas or ideas that generate disagreement can be developed.

I'd love your feedback on what feels helpful and what feels confusing or missing. Thanks!

hey, my question was about the substance (i.e. how to accelerate progress) and not the form (research method), even if the two are not inseparable. (And precisely, the CD index is created within the article to measure the innovative impact of the productions).

Papers and patents are becoming less disruptive over time

Hello everyone, I read this interesting article (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05543-x) on the decrease of the disruptive impact of science over time. This surprised me at first given the number of startups and predictions that are made about the future. I find that it raises important questions about how we can accelerate progress and innovation. I look forward to your thoughts.
