    "Feel free to post ideas of projects and topics here. These can be very vague ideas or ideas that have not been tested for realism yet. As long as you think it is possible, post them here.

    This is to list ideas we may work on and some of them will definitively be picked up and be concretize as a project or topic.

    Here's some examples of my own:

    Project: Spinning Styles. An analysis of current spinning styles and exploration new styles.

    Topic examples: A comprehensive list of all current styles, In-depth analysis of style "X", the use of constraints to generate styles, Discovery of a new style based on "Y".

    Project: Hybrid tricks. An analysis of current hybrid tricks and exploration of new hybrids.

    Topic examples: A comprehensive list of all current hybrids, A method to systematically devise new hybrid tricks, An extension to the Hybrid family.

    Project: Aerials. An analysis of current aerials and explorations of new tricks.

    Topic examples: A method to create new aerials based on their landing. Aerials and interactions with the <>. Aerials for 2p2h.

    etc... This is just a brief list I hope you can add on to it."

    Alternative notation regarding spinless and isolation tricks?

    This may not be necessary but a form of spatial notation and other alternative or additional notations that would be helpful in bringing spinless and isolation type tricks into notation.

    symbols like < > ^ and v to describe hand movement (expanded upon) to be used to be able to describe all spinless tricks through notation for use additional to the conventional naming and notation system. (further explored in the naming comitee?)

    Should glowsticking "tricks" be considered penspinning tricks as well?.

    There are reasons glowstickers havent brought penspinning into their feild, as glowsticks aren't the best object to penspin with, however there really isn't any reason for penspinning to not have taken hold of glowsticking tricks as our own is there?.

    They're already named and described so what's keeping it back, should these tricks be recognized as part of the penspinning trick repitoire?

    you would have to compile all the tricks they do, thers no point in saying all their tricks are ours, you actually gotta do the work and list them, preferably with vids using pens


    thats like saying you can juggle with pens, so any juggling techniques are PS techniques, well prove it by showing juggling pens videos and show how tis useful in combos.
