Batman, the original creator of DotCodeSchool - the platform every PBA and PBA-X student goes through, is stepping back from active maintenance. While he may still contribute occasionally, he’s no longer in a position to maintain or drive the project forward.
DotCodeSchool has already proven its value:
Without active stewardship, it risks stagnating, becoming harder for new devs to benefit from and harder for contributors to engage with.
I’m committing 4 months to actively maintain, improve, and prepare DotCodeSchool for long-term community sustainability.
My focus will be:
DotCodeSchool is open to anyone.
However, feedback from the community shows that too few people know it exists.
The proposed work will lay the technical foundation for future discoverability efforts. Once the platform is refactored and video content is integrated, it will be in a stronger position to run targeted outreach campaigns. Potentially in collaboration with community members experienced in marketing
I will publish a monthly progress report with:
Since I’m new to the Treasury process, I’m open to suggestions from the community on where these reports should be hosted.
If there’s no preferred place, I’ll post them publicly on LinkedIn and X for transparency, and also share the links in the relevant Polkadot forum thread so they’re archived in one place.
This is not a one-off feature drop. It’s 4 months of active stewardship, ensuring that:
Without this work, the risk is that DotCodeSchool will stagnate, making it harder for new devs to benefit from it or contribute.
DotCodeSchool belongs to the community and this proposal is about keeping it alive, improving it, and setting it up for a sustainable future.
