Visibility of Plenum as a Ledger
Over the past year, Indy has successfully spun out Ursa and Aries as stand-alone projects. Each of these projects benefited from new contributors and increased enthusiasm. Indy also benefited from increased focus on its role as an identity ledger. We would like to see the same benefits accrue to the Plenum ledger. Plenum is a mature, general purpose, distributed ledger. Its features, performance, and production stability compares favorably with other ledgers. Yet we currently only talk about it in terms of Indy Node, limiting the users and contributors to those with an interest in identity use cases. We have found that there are currently very few people in the identity ecosystems with the skills and interest necessary to contribute to Plenum, and we need to broaden the base of users and contributors in order to ensure its viability.
If Plenum leaves Indy, then Indy is a smaller and more focused project. Indy will consist of the identity primitives and server configuration for Plenum. It will be easier to understand and contribute to.
Future work planned:
- Complete the New Project Proposal for Plenum.
- Recruit additional contributors.
- Improve the ease of running Plenum independent from Indy Node.
