Contribution Requests (period 134)

This is a poll to determine priority of contribution requests at the time of period 134 of Eden Fractal. It is part of stage 2 of Synchronous Respect Tree V1 game.

Spread your respect-weighted votes among contribution requests according to your understanding of what contributions are the most needed right now. This will help contributors determine what to work on and inform ranking of contributors in respect game.

Contribution requests

CR: Educational Resource Development and Documentation

Eden Fractal needs better educational resources to help people understand what we're doing and how they can benefit from participating. Contributions can include writing articles and blog posts about fractal governance, developing FAQ resources, improving our website content, creating technical documentation and specifications, exploring AI-powered workflows for content creation, and producing video content. Resources about Eden Fractal's implementation are highest priority, but educational content about fractal governance broadly also supports our mission.

CR: Technical Development for Fractal Governance Tools

Eden Fractal relies on several core technical tools and welcomes contributions to their development. Priority areas include Fractalgram (the Respect Game interface), ORDAO (onchain governance infrastructure), the Eden+Fractal consensus process, and related tools or processes used by Eden Fractal. With AI-assisted development tools making it easier than ever to build applications, this is an exciting time to contribute—whether through direct improvements to our production tools or experimental applications that explore new approaches to fractal coordination.

CR: Community Engagement and Contributor Outreach

Eden Fractal thrives through active community engagement, and we're seeking contributions that help grow and strengthen our community. Quality matters more than quantity—inviting one highly engaged contributor often creates more value than attracting many passive observers. Contributions include inviting strong-fit people to join events, welcoming and onboarding new participants, building relationships with collaborators in adjacent spaces, and nurturing connections with potential future contributors.

CR: Research into Fractal Decision-Making Processes

Eden Fractal's mission includes collaborative research to advance our understanding of how communities can coordinate more effectively. Research can include studying how fractal governance works in practice, interviewing experienced practitioners, exploring how other communities implement similar processes, investigating novel coordination mechanisms, and engaging deeply with existing literature and theory. Both newcomers with fresh perspectives and experienced practitioners who can identify the most impactful areas for investigation are welcome to contribute.

CR: Fractalgram

Fractalgram is core component of Eden Fractal and many other fractals. However we currently do not have a reliably working implementation of it. We should prioritize it because it's essential for user friendly experience in fractals.

CR: Non-profit for fractal ecosystem

A non profit could help Eden Fractal by accepting donations and distributing funds to contributors. It is also part of a broader vision of creating a sustainable ecosystem for fractals. It is also part of the vision I expressed here: https://hackmd.io/@sim31/ef-vision-p132

CR: Firmament

Firmament is an old project idea that has been floating around in Eden Fractal since last epoch.

My perspectives around how to achieve what I intended with Firmament, has changed dramatically, since I last talked about them in Eden Fractal.

The new project idea is much more simple and easier to deliver and could give Eden Fractal the following benefits:

• Systematic way to integrate many different consensus building tools and select them from meeting to meeting
  • Would create a space for different fractal app developers;
  • Would allow for different implementations of fractalgram (for example) to be tested;
• A system to track and version governance documents effectively;
• It would unite what we are currently calling legislative and executive branches into a single chain (human speed chain - 1 period - 1-2 blocks) secured by both old and new Eden Fractal Respect;
• A way to market in a way that might be attractive to crypto people: concept of mining from a your laptop viable again;
• A systematic way to integrate AI agents into our processes, without losing control;

In general I think it can start the next generation of DAOs, which natively work at the level of abstraction fully understandable to all, not just smart contract developers. This development would be very aligned with where the whole tech world is going thanks to LLMs.

The initial contribution would be for me to express this new idea (document / post / prepare presentation).

Some (old and out of date) resources about firmament:

• Article where the original idea was expressed
• Blog post about it by Dan Singjoy, with more resources
