At SPARKN people discuss “solution for problem which individual and/or organization carries” on open online place per case. Prizes money can be set for each of cases, and is to be distributed to individuals who provided support in the end of the case.

reasons to make one’s problems public
which should be weakness of each

widest range of individuals/organizations,
