I was just wondering, on the subject of research debt, if there was any sort of system so that people could “adopt” the posts of others. Like say, if someone posts an interesting idea that they don’t have the time to polish or expand upon, they could post is somewhere for people who can.
I think a good option here is to take the core idea of the post and make its own wiki page for it (we hope to shortly make wiki-page creation straightforward, for now it’s fine to treat tag pages as wikis even when you don’t want the tags).
This might be unconventional in the sense that wikis generally are more for “established” facts, but I think a wiki where people are fleshing out thoughts would be cool and good, definitely worth people trying.

There isn’t a formal system, but in general people are free to write new distillations of old posts.
