Examples of community power, or what is known as 'the wisdom of crowds' are Google, Wikipedia, Digg and so many others. The click-intimacy and click-proximity of the global community opens the gate for a new brave world where we all see and study what we care about, everywhere, any time, and we all contribute and share our add-ons to the community dynamics. Enterprises exploiting these notions have become very powerful and very popular. Here we propose another application of the wisdom of crowds: calling upon the community at large to bring its wisdom to bear for solving a shared problem, a common challenge. Google advances sites for our attention based on their popularity with people of ostensibly similar interest, but as a community we are divided per our personal interests. Wikipidia covers a wide span of knowledge, but each of us reads a small portion, per his or her interest. By contrast, a challenge like the energy crisis, global warming, cure for cancer, Aids, and heart problems is one for which the public at large is a stakeholder, and it is a challenge to arrest the combined wisdom of all of us who have something useful to contribute towards a working solution to each of these vexing problems.

We need to find a good way to:

In other words we need to allow each of us to do two things in equal efficiency: to read what the community is saying at any given moment, and to add his or her contribution to this community summary statement -- and do all that with clarity and order.

We propose two tools for the purpose:

1. BiPSA
Binary Polling Scenario Analysis

With BiPSA issues of uncertainty and controversy are outlined as a series of binay questions (yes/no), and BiPSA smartly integrates them to a most credible summary opinion.

2. CiPSA
Community Interactive Problem Solving Architecture

Using the Innovation Turing Machine, we map the full detail of the innovation work and proposals, onto a framework which is visible to the community and readily commented on, and added-to by all readers Internet-wide.
