create a forum for "open hacks"
in that forum, folks help contribute to each others code.. allow for discussions of the code itself.. allow for free conversation, unless it actually violates a law instead of prohibiting the speech because it "might" violate a law.. not that most of the speech here has been lawfully questionable, bu tat the same time, talking about certain things here makes the proverbial ass of jelsoft pucker tighter than a wh0re in church..
allow for a bit of freedom in those particular forums alone as far as some of the more questionable topics go.. and actually tell people that the roughly questionable conversations should be limited to the open area..
so create a sub cat with a couple of sub forums.. on is a hack forum the other a discussion of hacks/ open content.. it certainly is not a be all end all solution, but a step in the right direction is better than the two steps back approach of late..
edit--
Just to be sure folks know, make sure the info on the forum for hacks explicitly states all hacks posted within are OPEN for any modification as so chosen by any member as they se fit unless otherwise deemed to seriously violate the jelsoft license agreement.. and by seriously, i mean something that completely, without question, everyone can see it, violates the LA..
