Currently you can share projects by sending out emails with the URL as a clickable wireframe, or you can ask people to login (free) and view your work and comment on it. We are now adding a section to the website where public projects are posted for users to browse, search, view and comment, as well as bid to do the actual design and coding should the wireframer choose.

Still, I wonder how market competition will put a brake on this development. For instance, I would hesitate doing this for an e-commerce initiative. We may only get to implement this in non-competition markets or when time-to-market is minimal. Thoughts on that, anyone?

I've never done something like this, but the intention is to create a UI prototyping tool and expand concepts from open source into open design. Cheers :) I’m just starting another project which is all about designing in the open – fluidIA.
