Dear Community,
Preparing for the upcoming presentation at Bitcoin Wednesday in Amsterdam I tried to put down in words how exactly we project managers aim to contribute to Dash. I came up with the following: "Our purpose is to support the developers, so that they can focus on execution instead of administration and coordination; while providing transparency for stakeholders, and making it easier for community members to contribute."
Why am I mentioning this? This initiative is particularly targeting the second section of the quote above: providing transparency for stakeholders.
Currently you need to keep an eye on multiple forums, chat rooms and websites if you'd like to stay up-to-date with the news. For many, this might be suboptimal. I thought about creating a biweekly digest containing all relevant news of the past 2 weeks, status updates, and possibly some sneak peak into our top secret projects.
The goal is to provide all the stakeholders with a regular, periodic update about the status of Dash. I know that as our userbase increases one unified news stream might not satisfy all segments of our stakeholders (e.g. investors might be interested in different news and metrics than the community) - should this happen, we will adapt.
It won't be perfect at first. I'll just create something I have in my mind, and keep improving it every iteration based on the feedback of the community. So let's get to the details!
What is fixed:
- I commit to this initiative for at least 10 iterations. No matter what, I'll keep pushing out the Dash Biweekly Digest for this period. Based on the information accumulated till then we can judge if it's worth continuing.
- For this period I'll post the updates every second Friday evening, starting 25th September
What is flexible:
- Everything else. I'll come up with the first version, THEN we can talk about layout, topics, sections and such.
What I need help with now:
- We need a platform where the community can submit news items. If anyone has an idea, please let me know. Don't think in a box. We could use email, JIRA, list.ly, trello, hackpad, or anything.
For now, please let me know if the Hackpad solution I came up with is easy enough. If yes, please help me gathering the happenings between 11th and 25 September. It's available here: https://dashpay.hackpad.com/gVmkboEpSiG
Please provide feedback about the idea itself, and the proposed collaboration tool as well.
