The Problem:
Badgeholders need a better way to unify their knowledge and research. In RPGF3, knowledge sharing happened through a variety of chats, X, blogs, etc. But during a review of applications, there was no way to learn “what do badgeholders know about this application?”.
This would help highlight stellar projects, spread awareness of scams & bad actors, and overall bring more context to badgeholders as they are making their decisions. This could also be a place to highlight mistakes or errors in the application.
What is needed:
A unified knowledge display on a per-application level. When I click on a project, I’d like to see all of the statements other badgeholders have made about that project.
A Solution:
Hackernews or Reddit style comment section under the project description. Comments can only be made by badgeholders or the project itself. Optionally, comments can be upvoted or downvoted by badgeholders based on their usefulness.
This approach would help unify the badgeholder knowledge which is essential as we scale RPGF to more projects and more badgeholders. Scams & bad actors are more likely to be discovered. Essential projects are more likely to be realized. And any deeper analysis done by badgeholders will be available to everyone during the voting process.
