From Update 8th June
Community involvement in SprintsThe current sprint showed us that decentralising the knowledge makes the libraries very accurate and efficient. It’s also proving to be a much smoother process. The planning is more accurate and the reviews are more rigorous and faster. We are now taking this idea to next level by involving the community members / developers in the sprint execution. So, the next sprint will be open to all!!
We will publish the tasks required in the sprint and anybody can attempt a task and contribute to the libraries. To encourage and appreciate folks to contribute to our codebase, we will pay around $20 for each point (a point is approx 1 hour, but we find it is much less) achieved by the external developer. More details on the payment mode and process will be published soon by Nick. We are excited by this as we already have commits from the general community and the ability to work on a new language really appeals to many people, but if we can pay at least a little then it all becomes more engaging. We will of course review all work and be as critical as we are with ourselves (which is pretty critical). What a way to learn a language and a project as potentially as important as SAFE!
It may sound a bit difficult initially, but we will ensure that the tasks are well described and suitably specced. We will be happy to clarify doubts, review and also help you finish the tasks. We believe this is a huge step forward as it will spread the knowledge and make the community interact more closely, at code level.
Are this plans still on to involve the dev community in the sprint that starts 6th July. It will be nice to see the implementation and the help to drive the project forward
