We’re pleased to announce our guidelines for technical community contributions are now online. In the guidelines, among other things, you can find information on compensation and the standard process for making contributions.

You can find the guidelines here.

We would also like to thank our growing technical community. We have compensated the first batch of contributors and look forward to the community growing. We asked three early technical community contributors how they thought the technical community would grow from here:

“There is a great opportunity for early developers to be part of something big from the start. I hope my and others work on SDKs, documentations, and specifications will bring more developers to the table”.

- Backlash

“I believe as Ontology’s profile continues to grow, so will the development community. With the right support from Ontology (such as developer meetups, rewards for contributions, structured guidelines around development requirements, marketing of the development community, etc.) the community will continue to grow. I hope to see a more formalised partnership between Ontology and the Ontology Community Developers group”.

- Panther

“I think we need to build our community by attracting more quality developers, which will bring more business opportunities and world recognition for Ontology project. There are a couple of ways: 1. Financially support local community meetups (it doesn’t have to be technical), we need people to know about Ontology worldwide. 2. Support self-managed communities (like CoZ to NEO) and financially support their development and dApps (like the NEO Foundation). 3. Global dApp competitions (monthly or weekly) or hackathons. 4. Find global partners or promoters to promote Ontology in their business circle. I am keen to introduce Ontology to our internal practice”.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Ontology Team
