CrowdSpirit "electronic product crowd sourcing"

France based CrowdSpirit is in beta mode, you can put your ideas for electronics/gadget and they can be voted on or developed. If it gets developed you can also get a share of the revenue. Interesting idea, not sure how/if it will work out - I wonder what the first product will be from this org... anyway check it out, post thoughts in the comments... - [via] Link.

I found this info on their site. It doesn't show in the current FAQ list, but I found it while reading some of the other links posted for articles on their site and then followed it back:

I'd be nervous that either my idea would be completely stolen or certain "contributors" up the chain would get more pay consideration than myself as the original inventor of the product/concept. If I design what it does and how it works, but someone else makes it "pretty", who gets the credit?
