Great notes!
Strongly agree with designing a badge system to help promote / incentivize developer + broader community education. This is something we’ve been thinking a lot about in the context of open source incentivization with Gitcoin alongside how to strike a proper balance between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. I do think there’s a role for financial incentivizes (grants, inflation funding, bounties) especially for continued maintenance (the number one problem in open source code and documentation), but the value of distinct accolades on sites like StackOverflow or a feeling of community between editors on Wikipedia can’t be overlooked. Anyone who wants to collaborate on this please let me know!
Regarding who should house the resources and how they should be prioritized, I think that building a signalling mechanism into a site hosted by the foundation itself is probably the best way to go (and seemed to be the consensus at the meeting) but it would be useful for some resources to go into cleaning up existing resources as well (given how many are still front and center when searching but wildly out of date). Happy to be a part of both of these efforts.
Also super interested in working with initiatives like wizardamigos.com to reward learning, that idea really appeals to me and I’d love to help in any way I can.
