This document describes a new platform called Arboreal that aims to connect people with project ideas to people with specific skills to collaborate on projects. It discusses features like creating groups for different projects and skills, bidding on project roles, and searching or getting recommendations to find project teammates. It also acknowledges competition from other platforms but notes Arboreal is targeting new projects not just established startups, and that the creators plan to take more design time up front to avoid needing a complete revamp later.
