Description:
After starting ToPAS (aka PoPA) I have received a mail from a guy who wants to 
publicize some ideas so that they cannot be patented. What he needs is a 
service to have his ideas publicized and time stamped. My suggestion to him was 
to create a Savannah project for his ideas, but it seems the ideas are not 
finished enough to start a whole project.

I have also had ideas that I would like not to be patented. I have published my 
ideas at http://ole.tange.dk/projekter/kontroversielt/patent-ideer.html I also 
suffer from the problem of lacking trustworthy timestamping. 

So now I got the idea: How about starting a Savannah project where people could 
submit their ideas and have them anti-patent protected by using ToPAS?

The project could be categorized as a software documentation project as most of 
the ideas will probably be software related.

Other Software Required:
ToPAS
