| May 20, 2019 at 19:58 | comment | added | Thomas Kojar | @Paseman Also the issue is not about demand in the math community for this sort of database, as much as it is convenience and ease of use. MO and math SE are great at promoting posts and inviting everyone to contribute. OpenGardens and OpenProblems could use the extra attention that an SE version of them would create. | |
| May 20, 2019 at 19:55 | comment | added | Thomas Kojar | @Paseman OpenGarden and OpenProblems are independent projects of MO and all three with a community of their own that overlap. If one doesn't want to contribute their research problems and ideas to the SE version of OpenGarden, they don't have to. | |
| May 20, 2019 at 17:10 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | @schematic_boi, there is a trade-off between creativity and convenience, but there are also gradations of necessity. I would argue that mailing groups would not give rise to as large community as StackExchange and MathOverflow have done. Thomas does not need to create a community so much as he needs to divert one. My suggestion has the advantage that less diversion is needed. Gerhard "And Less Subversion And Conversion" Paseman, 2019.05.20. | |
| May 20, 2019 at 16:52 | comment | added | user138661 | but then MathOverflow is also not needed, a creative use of mailing groups would have sufficed (I am not an equal of Mr. Paseman in creativity, so I will let him figure out if that would suffice or not). Very few things are actually needed if you allow creativity to replace convenience. | |

The OpenGarden project will be the formal version that removes any ambiguities from the research problems. | |
| May 20, 2019 at 3:23 | comment | added | Thomas Kojar | This SE site will serve as a raw database of research problems posted as Wiki. Therefore, even if the original author is long gone, the research problem post will continue to be updated till the conjecture is proved. | |
