Ten years ago on January 27, 2009, Polymath1 was proposed by Tim Gowers and was launched on February 1, 2009. The first project was successful and it followed by 15 other formal polymath projects and a few other projects of similar nature.

think it would be great if someone put up a poll for future polymath projects allowing other types of feedback eg comments etc… there are hundreds of great problems to choose from and it would be really neat if there was some better/ more visible/ populist process to narrow down the candidates. ps however you slice it collatz should be at top of list :)

It looks like Superpermutations is turning into a vast Polymath-style project, with an (old) proof from 4chan https://www.quantamagazine.org/unscrambling-the-hidden-secrets-of-superpermutations-20190116/, discussions in a Google group https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/superpermutators, GitHub repo https://github.com/superpermutators/superperm, and new record in YouTube comment https://groups.google.com/d/msg/superpermutators/KNhmzQy99ic/Gs61OihCDwAJ.
