<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I hope I am allowed to post this on this forum (and hope this is the correct subforum), and I would like to point out to the fact that this is not advertisement, but I'm simply asking for advice and suggestions.</p>
<p>Some of my friends and I were thinking about realizing an interesting project and we're still looking for ideas, ideas, ideas, and ideas :)</p>
<p>The main purpose of this project consists in uniting people from across the globe (students, professors and professionals alike) on a kind of online community, on which we can produce a huge base of "resolution proposals", i.e. where everyone can freely propose a well-formed "resolution" she/he thinks could solve any given issue in the spheres of politics, economics or business and then comment, amend, merge them, etc. online with everyone else.</p>
<p>This would differ from a normal debate and discuss forum (where we simply comment the world issues) in that we are encouraged to come up with our own ideas and "showcase" them online, to the general public.</p>
<p>We were "inspired" to think of this by the fact that we have attended and also helped organizing many events such as Model United Nations, business games, case competitions and other "simulations".
Events like these are regularly held throughout the world's universities and
as nice, professional, and sometimes life-changing they can be, most of them share the "drawback" that they are held only once a year in a given location.</p>
<p>An online replica might never replace the experiences of a real-life Model United Nations, but still give a chance to those who are actively interested to stay active, be present and "feel connected".</p>
<p>Firstly, let me ask you: what do you think of this?</p>
<p>Do you know whether such projects or similar ones already exist on the internet?</p>
<p>Secondly, I'd ask you and I'd really appreciate any advice you could give me with regards to the main purpose of this project.
e.g. Do we need to do any official work (licenses, etc.) to realize such a website, especially since we'd like to make it international?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot in advance :)</p>
