Member profiles - tool sponsorship

Topic Type: 
Idea

I think that when tools are posted to the wiki, the original poster should sponsor them - and give some context in the forum. A culture of posting to the forum before posting a new tool would enable evaluation of stage of project, category and areas where documentation will be needed, and it would be really good I think to have tools posted be rooted in the real world by someone who has actually built and or used, or will use a tool rather than just cool ideas. Others thoughts?

That way if someone has a question, there is someone with a stake in the project to advocate for it etc. It should make for better discussion.

We would need to be able to list members along with the tool entry. This could be as easy as adding it into the wiki entry.
