Hi David,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.  I don't really want to launch a
specific request for property, but rather to point out that your tool - if
successful - will provide a great avenue to expose all kinds of interesting
knowledge that will require many more properties than I could think of..
Just one quick example.  Browsing this page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdsourcing , I noticed the following
interesting little tidbit of knowledge: "Domino's Pizza, Coca Cola,
Heineken and Sam Adams have thus crowdsourced a new pizza, bottle design,
beer or song, respectively".  I wanted to add statements such as "Domino's
Pizza --- crowdsourced -- pizza design".

Obviously not the most important statement in the world, but a collection
of many statements like that would give a picture of what the new action of
"crowdsourcing" can be used to accomplish and hence might be interesting
and useful to some people (at least a few people in the long tail such as
myself).

Again though - the plea here is not for a specific property, but a
better/faster mechanism for expanding the property collection and for
engaging larger numbers people in creating wikidata.  And I think your tool
or its descendant could be a great step in both of those directions.

-Ben
