A virreal park
I like to be online but have a relaxing environment at my disposal as well. Stepping away from it all, without going offline (because my goal is to enhance the online experience).
I therefore consider setting up a virreal park. A place you can walk into (link into?), just as a short sidestep during a websurf. I mentioned parks before, but since that time my ideas have become a little(!) more specific.
It should be a spot where you can wander around, stand still and enjoy the view and even encounter others. In a way it should be similar to avatar-environments like SecondLife or Habbo-hotel, but it should be more open (e.g. part of a 'regular' website or group of websites) and maybe less life-like. This way it can also be a platform for all kinds of digital artists, who can create the virtual equivalents of statues, fountains or streetperformers that you find in any park.
So, still very conceptual, but maybe a hint for a new open-source project?
