10 | ## 🧠 Problem or Use Case
11 | Describe the situation or workflow where a new IIIF tool or feature would help.  
12 | Who experiences this problem, and why does it matter?
13 | 
14 | _Example:_  
15 | Instructors want to remix IIIF content for classroom exhibits, but manifests often break or are difficult to reuse.

17 | ## 🚧 Tooling Gap or Limitation
18 | Explain what is missing or hard to do with current tools.  
19 | Mention any partial solutions that exist.
20 | 
21 | _Example:_  
22 | There is no easy way to crop and export IIIF regions between the IIIF Imager Cropper and Scalar.
23 | 
24 | ## 💡 Potential Solution or Project Idea
25 | Describe the idea for a tool, plugin, or prototype that could address the issue.  
26 | Leave space for others to suggest variations or improvements.
27 | 
28 | _Example:_  
29 | A “Course Media Bridge” that syncs cropped IIIF regions and metadata between classroom tools.

40 | 
41 | _Example:_  
42 | - Build a prototype crop-sync API  
43 | - Create a basic front-end for testing interoperability
