My friend Angie created some great products and new life for herself when she started http://www.byrdandbelle.com after being laid off in the last economic bump. I agree with Loic - what is your definition of "success" though? Angie and I disscussed that exact topic over lunch this week.
Can you share a few thoughts about trends that are coming macro or micro which we all should be watching both for disruption and opportunity? Within tech, broader socio-economic changes, global changes etc? To help us better "future proof" ourselves and our passions.

Really cool idea. I'd be interested in joining and perhaps adding some thinking to how it might leverage game mechanics to make it more interesting... letting the best/most prolific editors/proofreaders/copy writers rise to the top.

Do we simply create a www.stackoverflow.com type system for web copy?

I would need to dig for the article - but recently some doctors have radically reduced the mistakes made in surgery by utilizing checklist procedures - you are on to something here.
