Identify, cull, highlight resources on use cases and best practices
Determine what is out there and what is missing from these resources, could be overall or in a specific topic area (see preferred topics below)
Potentially add to existing resources or create our own resource
Share what we have learned or drawn up through a blog, solution brief, white paper, database, etc. that includes our own POV on this technology in this space
Connecting and liaising with others in the Hyperledger community
Based on above activities and interests coming from this group, identify 1-2 groups that may help inform, knowledge-share, or have lessons learned to share on what we're doing
It is important to you that we…be a thought leader to shape the technology, shape standards, consider environmental impacts, and understand what is being done already
You want to do the above in...digital currencies, aid/philanthropy, supply chain, and best practices in implementation
And so first we will...define use cases, best practices, identify project proposals in proposed areas, and start a white paper on the above
Please review the results here:
