RE: Something Useful For Blockchain

It's very nice that you took the time. And I think the waiting time was well invested, because your suggestions are very good.

a heavily moderated Steem community

Using a new community to collect and "manage" the proposals is perfect from my point of view. However, "heavily moderated" will probably be very important, as I fear that there are some users who will seek attention there. I don't currently know if it's possible to restrict user rights so that root posts can only be created by certain users. Otherwise, it has to be muted.

"pinned post" that's indexing

Setting up a central (pinned) post is equally brilliant!

The "Steem virtual assistant" completes the task and posts supporting documentation.

However, the role of the virtual assistant is not yet clear to me. But maybe I will realise that later in the process...

I also think we should just start.

I could offer to create a cloud folder for joint editing with OneDrive. We can create Word documents there and edit them together.
However, cryptpad's description also sounds good and could also be helpful for our purposes (joint editing of documents). If this is more desired, I would take over this set-up.

For the community creation we should arrange together (name, admin, mods etc.). We could make the arrangements via Steemit, Discord (or possibly OneDrive/Cryptpad itself).

However, the role of the virtual assistant is not yet clear to me.

I don't really have a clear picture, yet, either. It occurs to me now that Steemit already beat me to this idea with SC03-SC09, steem greeters, cryptoacademy professors, and country representatives, though. They've been making use of virtual assistants for a couple of years, already. I just didn't have a name for it. ;-) An example of what I had in mind is like this:

Say that the team agrees on a project to update the documentation for the Steemit API. That's too big of a job for anyone to undertake with hopes of relying on upvotes (we saw how that went with @the-gorilla and his front end effort). On the other hand, though, we could try to break things down into small self-contained, manageable tasks. i.e. ask "virtual assistants" to submit pull requests and post their progress, one API call at a time, and support that with upvotes. If someone abandons the effort, the upvote is not wasted, because the task was identified as a strategic need and it stood, independently, on its own.

Two other discussion points, for longer term consideration:

  • Could we scale up participation and effectiveness by organizing into teams (circles) under a decentralized model like holacracy or sociocracy?
  • Is it possible to create a community moderation account and (provably) permanently disable all keys except the posting key? If so, this could be a tool for building a community "war-chest" for distributing upvotes without worrying about someone powering down and disappearing.

Some sort of community account could be good.

Then either the posting key could be shared for contributors, or contributors could set 100% beneficiaries to it.

Then anyone who wants to vote on the contributions (including the sc0 accounts) would be adding to the community war-chest fund.

Now we need someone to take the initiative and create a new community, discord server or dropbox paper. I could create a community, but I've been on the platform for a little over a year. I think I am not the one who should be an administrator in such a community. There are many much more respectable users.
