This is the Wikipedia approach to software development. Why does it seem absurd for software yet it seems to work (perhaps inefficiently) for Wikipedia? What if Linus made the Linux master repository world-writable? If Wikipedia required edits to be reviewed by other editors, they would probably be thwarted with fake editor accounts.

Why does it seem absurd for software yet it seems to work (perhaps inefficiently) for Wikipedia? Mostly because software is deeply interconnected - every file will call something within another one. Wikipedia will link to another file, but never depends upon the content within it.
That got me thinking, I wonder if you can make a redirect loop or a mega redirect loop that would OOM wikipedia?

Someone has already submitted a pull request changing the readme so that it says he'll accept nothing. However, I think this can be rejected under the "don't be a dick" rule.
Well I was planning on a .gitignore that ignored everything. Now I feel like that might qualify as a dick move :(

this might be a joke, but this is a serious problem i have as well. i want to create something, but i don't know what to do.. there is nothing i need that is not already done, or at least thats why i think.
I have like 20 drafts of things I'll never work on because of lack of time but that I think are pretty good ideas. Fraom games to programming tools including network tools, educational applications, etc... What are your areas of expertise and interest?

For me it would be be searching in source for anything that is built in release not debug mode.
Or more generally a better local search solution for source code. Powerful enough to find what I need without resorting to regex.
