Hey @pennsif, thanks for your feedback, I did spend a little time with Ned and Andrarchy, This blog has been put together to propose ideas to them and start the discussion going forwards. Will be interesting to see what next step is. I am not aware that there are existing initiatives that compete with these, however, if I have missed any, this is where we will see. and if there are competing initiatives, this is also great as we can provide our resources to help with them. Of course getting the witnesses behind this would be very helpful to all on steemit.
