Smart Start Proposal
This proposal will create a “Meta Eden” repo controlled by trusted Eden Members (Elders) that will house non-binding suggestions others can review + improve in later community proposals.
These ideas are non-IP, and others can later make formal proposals based on them.
Leaders can take these ideas to propose bylaws.
Smart Start proposes the “Meta Eden” repo as a garden of ideas.
Key Points
-
“Meta Eden” github
-
“Eden Elders” who are repo admins can merge PRs. Elders are coders, leaders + EOS community members (Must be accepted if meet all 3 requirements)
-
Doug’s Tree Proposal structure as first .md contribution (I developed this structure for an upcoming project, will modify it for EOS and share here)
Abstract
Anyone can push/fork suggestions to improve to Eden and EOS, send a PR to finalize an idea that then becomes real.
This is more “formal” than posting on eoscommunity.org or telegram, and stays forever
Suggestions can be technical, social (Like let’s onboard WAX community), or anything that helps EOS and/or Eden. Not intended to change or any smart contracts in https://github.com/eoscommunity/Eden or elsewhere, hence the word “Meta.”
All suggestions are NAMED + co-exist in FOLDERS representing concepts or problems to be solved. (Onboarding Process, DeFi, Usability, etc.)
All contributions are MIT license, non-IP.
These can be displayed by third-party services similar to how Eos-airdrops displays icons, for future voting, etc.
Funds (If granted the 2000 EOS)
20% To the EOS Power-Up fund
30% to First 12 (meaningful) contributors
50% to Douglas to set up Repo, Bring on 3 Elders, + contribute proposal format suggestion based on previous work
Situation Appraisal
There are many good ideas for Eden floating around, but they’re less than collaborative. Current forums and chat groups leave one person speaking and others listening, replying, then get lost in the chat history. New members who are of the highest potential to contribute to Eden’s workings at this critical time may not know how they can help.
Project Objectives
-
Give each member the opportunity to contribute technical, systematic, social, and practical detail in a way that others can later improve
-
Build a strong, collaborative foundation to Eden’s most core functions, bylaws, and wider EOS growth mechanics
-
Allow future leaders to pop up
Measures of Success
-
Meta Eden repo deployed
-
6+ significant folders
-
3+ interested repo administrators (Elders) who can accept PRs
-
Tree Proposal structure (Douglas will contribute in Repo)
Return on Investment
-
Seeding future proposals through non-IP sharing if ideas
-
Wider array of viable ideas catalogued by naming system
-
Opportunity to allow community feedback (forks, changes) on proposed bylaws by leaders and members alike.
-
Empowering the communities tech + leadership + social-savvy

Proposal Format by Joshua Seymour @joshuaseymour on TG, used partially to show how we need something like this proposal, as this format would be lost in the Telegram chat history

Update
Meta Eden is now hosted on the eoscommunity/meta-eden github.
This proposal won 10 EOS funding in Mock election 2, which was split to 2 5 EOS prizes, still unclaimed, for accepted contributors. No other work was funded, and Douglas did not take any profits here.
We will be running for more funding in future elections to put towards the prize pool. Douglas will take 0-20% in the future, with the option to split proceeds between active Elders.
Election One Plan
We will use this election to spread the word on Meta Eden and encourage contribution.
100% of gained proceeds will go into the prize pool for contribution. If EOS is won, we will increase the contributor rate to 10 EOS per contribution.
