While many of these things are one-off, there are also [recurring activities](https://github.com/Daniel-Mietchen/ideas/issues?q=is%3Aopen+sort%3Acreated-asc+label%3Arecurring).\n\n# Mechanics\n\nI have yet to figure this out in detail, but probably mainly via issues, perhaps with the \"[documentation](https://github.com/Daniel-Mietchen/ideas/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Adocumentation)\" label for things that are about the repo rather than about research ideas. Some of the research ideas may end up in the [Journal of Brief Ideas](http://beta.briefideas.org/), others in [Research Ideas and Outcomes](http://riojournal.com/browse_journal_articles.php?form_name=filter_articles\u0026selfurl=\u0026backurl=\u0026sortby=0\u0026journal_id=17\u0026search_hidden=\u0026search_in_=0\u0026search_in_hidden=\u0026alerts_subject_cats=\u0026alerts_sdg_cats=\u0026from_date=\u0026to_date=\u0026section_type%5B%5D=179\u0026funding_agency=), while yet others may go elsewhere or simply stay here.\n\n# Quotes about ideas\n\nI find it inspiring to browse through collections of quotes around ideas and related concepts. A good starting point here is [Wikiquote](https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Ideas), which gives us, for instance, this one from [Mary Quant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Quant):\n\u003e \"One thing I learnt was never to hoard ideas because either they are not so relevant or they've gone stale. Whatever it is, pour them out.\"\n\n# Files in this repo\n\n* [research-interests.md](https://github.com/Daniel-Mietchen/ideas/blob/master/research-interests.md) \u0026mdash; an attempt to explore interactions between different lines of research\n* [hashtags.md](https://github.com/Daniel-Mietchen/ideas/blob/master/hashtags.md) \u0026mdash; keeps track of hashtags of interest to me\n* [labels.md](https://github.com/Daniel-Mietchen/ideas/blob/master/labels.md) \u0026mdash; keeps track of the labels I am using in this repo\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdaniel-mietchen%2Fideas","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdaniel-mietchen%2Fideas","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdaniel-mietchen%2Fideas/lists"}
