I’ve created a site where anyone may list his projects and anyone may mark which projects he is going to participate. Projects are organized into a tree. The site supports LaTeX and has “Mathematics” section: http://theses.portonvictor.org/node/2

I have posted several pages on my math research project: http://theses.portonvictor.org/node/4 – feel free to add yours also.

The site is ideal for posting possible theses topics for students as well as cutting edge research for math persons. For a topic a user may mark himself as an adviser, which could help students.

Among mathematics this site is also going to list open source software proposals and whatever general utility projects.

Well, this project needs its own domain name. Please somebody donate a domain and help with hosting.

I've created Math Research Trends Wiki, a wiki with the motto "research in the middle" for sharing research ideas, stuff related to open problems, etc. (the rules are not yet exactly formulated, but I added several example entries which signify which stuff may be shared on this wiki). Please publicize announcements of this new wiki in your blogs.

The polymathprojects.org site is poorly designed: On the homepage http://polymathprojects.org the image from “IAS Institute Letter for fall 2010″ (with the title in it: “Mathematical Advances: Lone or Massively Collaborative Endeavors” overrides with “Top Posts” in the right sidebar. This is despite of I have a 1280 pixels wide screen. I use Firefox for Linux.

[Corrected, thanks - T.]

Why the last Terrence Tao's proposal triggered 19 comment and my proposal triggered zero comments (despite of my proposal is online a longer time)? Is it just because Terry is more famous than me? Your mileage may vary but my question seems more interesting that Tao's.

I hope they have something betetr in the works but if that thing even has the whiff of Wave in it nobody will go near it. We’re still healing from that heavy Wave burn. I thought Wave was supposed to be the new Universal Inbox for all Google stuff. Great idea. Would’ve loved it. Poor execution killed it, I guess

I’m interested in the platform for polymath. Clearly wordpress + wiki is not the desired model.

Are there any discussions of list of features one want from the platform?

Is it also possible to get financial support from any institution to develop such platform?

I solved a problem which earlier proposed for one of polymath projects.

The problem was at
http://portonmath.wordpress.com/2009/11/29/co-separability/

How to exclude the problem from the list of polymath proposals?

Dear Gowers,

I updated http://portonmath.wordpress.com/2009/11/02/exposition-complementive-filters/
adding there two new formulas as conjectures in the “Intersection with a set” subsection.

It is all I know about the “complementive filters are complete lattice” conjecture. I think this may be a starting point for other mathematicians who may be interested (personally I deem this an interesting problem).

I think that is does not extensively tells about “coinciding quasidifference and second quasidifference” is not a big defect, as it is an other problem and it may be not discussed here. Wiki reference where they may look for greater details on the full current state of that problem is available in this my exposition.

I ask you to publicize this my conjecture to be known for wider cycles of mathematicians. My blog visits are pretty low but this conjecture deserves wider attention.

Dear Gowers,

I wrote a longer exposition about “complementive filters are a complete lattice” problem:

http://portonmath.wordpress.com/2009/11/02/exposition-complementive-filters/

I’m not sure whether it is in the state ready to be publicized. You may read it in order to test whether this my writing is understandable.

Also it contains a very short reference to the problem about coinciding quasidifference and second quasidifference. Should I write a longer explanation about that problem to attract more people? Or it is OK to just mention this problem because it is not the problem we are solving now?

Please say how well I wrote this and publicize if it is OK.
