Question
I seem to have a never ending stream of more-or-less original, more-or-less cool ideas for software/apps/stuff yet to be written on my mind. Sometimes, I decide to just start implementing my idea. Several hours later, I end up with a decent, more-or-less working prototype of what I'm trying to build. Then, my alarm clock goes ringing and I have to get back to the real world, tired as hell. In most cases, the stuff I started remains unfinished forever. Sometimes, that's okay. Other times, I honestly feel like that's a bummer.
But I realize that there are sites like GitHub and there are many other coders out there. Is there a place where one can post ideas, proposals, concepts, or rough-around-the-edges-code in order to find people who are interested in collaborating on projects?
Edit: I am aware of "the usual way"
Explanation / Answer
Sounds like a match-making site for developers. You can make it free and then take a lot of time to weed through all those who know Java for example. No one is going to qualify candidates in the areas of: verify experience, test skills, availability for necessary time commitment for free for those who lack the expertise to evaluate programmers.
The same is true for developers being able to verify those with domain knowledge. Who is going to pay for a site where people list their ideas? Regardless if I have the skill set you need, I don't know if your idea is any good nor do I know if you are capable of implementing the sales and marketing side. You may have the greatest idea to sell to lawyers, but I would have no idea if it would work or how much sweat-equity I'd put into it.
