Are there any math/stats/CS theory types out there who are interested in suggestions for new problems?

I am finding that my large scale lossless data compression work is generating some mathematical problems that I don't have time to solve in their full generality. I could write up the problem definition and post to LW if people are interested.

Sure, lay it on us. If nothing else, writing it up clearly should help you.

Try posting some problems in the open threads here. MathOverflow has also worked really well for me.
