This is a weird way to go about things, especially since most "side projects" these days are open-sourced by default. Why not come up with your own idea?

> most "side projects" these days are open-sourced by default

what???

*side projects that aren't already a for-profit endeavor (why would someone sell it if they're already making/planning to make money?)

Isn't there a bias because open-sources projects are those more easily seen ?

What happens to those projects that are put on "wait" ? I doubt everyone just put-on his work free of consequences

this is a very smart comment

Personally if I start hacking on something, and the idea doesn't immediately stand out as something I might want to build a business out of, it goes straight to a public GitHub repo.

thanks for your input
