Project Ideas Typo?

If you look underneath "Project Ideas" (where it describes the section of the forum) it says

"A place to give and get help thinking of project ideas."

I believe it should be "A place to give and get ideas for projects."

Helpful thinking? That's not grammatically correct.

That's not what I said. It says that it's a place to give and get helpful thinking. That does not make sense. Nobody gives another person thinking. Do you see what I'm saying yet?

Read it outloud and carefully.

A place to give and get helpful thinking of projects

But you still can't give helpful thoughts really to someone. How about ideas instead of thoughts?

No, I think it's good the way it is:

A place to give help thinking of project ideas..
+.
A place to get help thinking of project ideas...
=
A place to give and get help thinking of project ideas!

Works for me.

Oh I see. It sounded weird for me in my head, but when I said it out loud I got it.
