Foundation Mission (RFP) – Collective Archive Maintenance

How will this Foundation Mission (RFP) help accomplish the above Intent?:
The Collective Archives were open sourced as a public good to advance the development of DAOs in the ecosystem. However, the Collective Archives are currently hard to navigate and there is no scalable framework for contributors to update, maintain, and/or expand these resources. Making the Archives easier to use, understand, and update these resources will allow more people to learn, and share their own learnings, improving the accessibility of our governance research and advancing our collective governance intelligence.

What is required to execute this Foundation Mission (RFP)?

  • Create an open source framework for anyone to update the Collective Archives
  • Create an improved user interface so the Collective Archives are easier to navigate

How should the Foundation measure progress towards this Foundation Mission (RFP):

  • Number of accepted updates to the Collective Archives during the Season (may be approved pull requests)
  • Number of contributors actively updating the Collective Archives
  • Number of views of the Collective Archives (ideally on a dedicated hosted site for the Archives)

How should badgeholders measure impact upon completion of this Foundation Mission (RFP)?

  • Number times the Collective Archives are referenced externally
  • Any personal benefit from using the Collective Archives
