Hack.Aragon is cool, but it doesnât have all the answers. The #dev-help channel on Rocket is also cool, but sometimes it takes 24-48 hours to get an answer and/or questions get lost in the shuffle. As such, the best way to solve Aragon related dev problems is to refer to your own notes and/or hit up other people in the community to see how they did something. Most major platforms have acknowledged this and rolled out a community wiki for people to share their process for getting stuff to work (for example ArchWiki). We also have hack.aragon, but it feels a little too âofficialâ for people to just post a âhereâs how it works on my machineâ doc. Thereâs also the Aragon Wiki, but afaik know no one uses it. Looking at the commit history itâs maintained by A1 who pays their team to do so. Thatâs great, but it doesnât scale.
This makes me thing that thereâs an incentives problem regarding Aragon community contributions. It would be great we had a meaningful way to encourage community members to contribute to the wiki. Perhaps some sort of ANT reward system for community contributions could help make this happen vs relying on altruism or the A1 team. The goal being to A) recognize community contributions in a meaningful way, and B) align incentives of community members to encourage participation in ANVs (atm participation is painfully low).
TL;DR: Started this thread as a discussion to support 3rd party docs, but then realized that we have a great wiki. Problem is, no one uses it. There arenât any incentives for people to contribute to the Aragon community unless youâre crazy, a whale, or itâs part of a flock teamâs KPIs. This needs to change if weâre going to evolve and scale as a community
