Community and Investor Hub - Pilot Program

Hello DOT Community! We're looking for feedback on our proposal that aims to bridge the information gap that exists between DOT and the rest of the crypto and non-crypto space! We are aiming to create a community and investor hub to provide summaries on all sources of media that are often lost in the cracks. Here's an example of our latest work!

Context

Knowledge Management in crypto is far from ideal. While we welcome the speculation caused through rumors and half-truth filled threads over twitter, the full truth is often lost in broader narratives. Albeit public, important and exciting developments are often overlooked; most people look at news from secondary sources like influencers or news outlets, instead of owned by the teams themselves. This proposal is meant to give the community of builders their voice and to enable any level of investors with tools to retrieve trustworthy information from primary sources.

Effectively, this proposal aims to bridge dialogue from team members at Parity, Web3, and other Polkadot affiliated organizations, to the hands to both retail and institutional investors in a digestible manner.

As a first step, we aim to build summaries for all the Polkadot related content that is provided to the market. This will allow anyone to speed quickly by reading through summaries of community calls, technical explainers, and podcasts. The vision is to create a hub where people who want to digest the latest information on Polkadot can go, and in the future include summaries created weekly based on interviews with people who are in business development or partnerships , ecosystem development, or technical buildout of Polkadot. This will be organized in a simple manner that will allow anyone who wants to keep up to date with Polkadot developments, to stay on track and to be able to “double click” into the most interesting and relevant developments to the ecosystem.

Goals

• Our program aims to capture every Polkadot-related video and audio piece, providing comprehensive summaries for each. This will enable everyone in the community to stay updated with the latest developments and insights, ensuring easy access to essential information and fostering a well-informed ecosystem.
• A primary goal of our program is to disseminate high-quality information. By prioritizing accuracy, clarity, and relevance, we ensure that our audience receives reliable content that not only educates but also fosters trust and confidence in the Polkadot Network and its potential.
• We strive to empower our audience with the ability to understand what is most important and relevant in the Polkadot community. By curating and organizing content based on significance and topicality, we enable users to quickly identify and access information that aligns with their interests and needs.
• Our program aims to actively engage with content creators whose work we are summarizing. By collaborating with them, we can distribute our summaries through their channels, effectively reaching a wider audience and amplifying the impact of their original content.
• To ensure real-time updates and broader accessibility, we will maintain a dedicated Twitter page where we share concise threads on our summaries. This approach will enable quick consumption of vital information, keeping followers informed and engaged with the latest Polkadot-related news and developments.

Example Work For First Iteration

Our team has demonstrated a strong commitment to delivering summarized content to the broader public, having already completed summaries for 15 long-form podcasts and presentations. You can explore our existing page here, where you'll find detailed summaries of each piece. We envision the creation of an extensive repository, containing summary-level data for all Polkadot-related content, streamlining access to valuable information for interested individuals.

By providing guidance to those interested in specific topics, we aim to make the process of discovering relevant content as seamless as possible. In addition to our summaries, we will include links to the original work, catering to those who prefer to consume content in its original form. This comprehensive approach ensures that our platform accommodates the diverse preferences and needs of the Polkadot community, ultimately promoting a more informed and engaged audience.
