Details

2. Ideator provides details like a. Idea name b. Idea description c. Associated Projects. (only accept opensource tools list) d. is this already raised as an issue in repo if yes please reference e. Why you think its a good fit.
3. Once submitted idea will be visible to people. Lets say our leet ninja hacker anant picks this task and designs a AI driven rot13 encoder. They can then come login and open that same idea and submit details. 4 a. Code commit: b. Pull request to project c. If idea is partially achieved or has constraints explain.
4. Ideator gets an email your idea is worked on.
5. Ideator can login validate all is good and accept the submission.
6. At this point the submitter gets a badge or points for solving the challenge. This is part of the whole gamification process so can only be worked after that.

Couple of things left. Validation and verification process. admin intervention how should you put the points across this as some idea might be too simple (creating new quantum resistent ciphers) or very tough (is even or is odd with upper limit of 100 as input)
