* '''generating''' ideas on how the theory can be improved by finding solutions to its topical issues.
It took the seminar three full iterations of the seminar before it became clear that it should be mainly focusing on the former task, i.e. on compiling a list of open questions for future research. As for finding solutions to open questions, it was appreciated that the seminar is not the best format for it. Solutions to open problems require proper research papers; only when an idea is published can the community begin to appraise it and decide whether it is acceptable or not. This idea is in the foundation of the [[Journal of Scientonomy]].
Although the previous iterations of the seminar produced a number of interesting open questions, the seminar of 2016 was the first to aim directly at producing open questions. It was the first year when a comprehensive list of open questions was generated.
