Hi There, Welcome to OA
Re your questions:
1) No problem with posting a question(s) to the forum, even if you don't plan to contribute an article. We don't mind helping out other projects from time to time as long as they aren't doing wholesale copying of OA or OA ideas without attribution or the like. If it turns out we are able to help with your idea, we wouldn't object if you wanted to give us a positive mention or shout out in your end product somewhere, but it isn't something we require
2) Feel free to post your questions to this thread for now. If the discussion turns into a major thread that looks like it's going to inspire new content for OA or the like, the Admins can always move it to another sub-forum or just request that people continue the discussion in a new location. Or people wanting to create OA articles inspired by this discussion can create a fresh thread in the relevant sub-forum.
3) Regarding both of the points above, and having looked at the link you sent, OA does have a mention of a smaller version of the Hoopworld, but it looks like you've done more work on the concept than we have actually. So we might end up creating/expanding an article using some of the math and stuff that you've figured out. In which case we will make sure to give you proper attribution in the article.
4) Depending on how things shake out, we might also eventually discuss a link-share between our two sites - but that's something we can talk about later if/when the issue becomes relevant.
Hope this all helps, looking forward to your questions, and once again - Welcome to OA!
Todd
