Given the massive influx of EA funding, and calls for entrepreneurs, I have been thinking that curating ideas and opportunities for funding could be valuable [e.g., 1,2]. Someone with a similar idea has since started working on a website to capture EA related ideas.
While reviewing that website, I wondered if a better approach would be to add a tag to the EA Forum Wiki to curate 'unfunded ideas/projects'. It might also help a little in addressing the fact that the EA forum wiki seems underused, as it would now have a very potent use case for potential funders. Longer term, this curation scheme could help with the easy production of an EA community funding program (e.g., a Kickstarter for EA ideas).
I'd like to know what people think and any suggestions for the tagging system if they like the idea.
Good suggestions.
For 'hiring' we have Job listing (open) (we can rename it if that name seems suboptimal).
In general, I like the idea of using tags for this purpose. I don't think the tagging system can replace a website/spreadsheet, since many projects requiring funding or founders are not listed on the EA Forum. But the tags can (1) help with the creation of the website/spreadsheet and (2) make the projects that are listed on the Forum more discoverable.
UPDATE: The tags have been created.
