Want to Help Write Articles, Guides & Documentation for ARK?

in #blockchain6 years ago

One of the most important parts of any software and open-source project is most definitely the documentation (so far ours is scattered across many different places). As such, we decided to bring everything under one roof via the Readme.io platform and we would like to invite you to help us.

While we work on API v2 documentation and finalize ARK Core v2, we wanted to extend an opportunity to all of our community members that have skills in writing/documentation to help ARK document as much important information as possible.

For this reason, ARK is starting a new type of bounty for all writers that want to get involved with the ARK project. This bounty is sectioned off into a few categories, each category has a few titles/topics on which you can write about, each section that is completed will earn ARK.

  • The amount of ARK earned per article depends on the quality, size and difficulty of the writing. Most bounties will range anywhere between $10 to $30 USD per 100 written words.
  • Some guides, info-graphics, code related guides and such will be compensated on a project to project basis decided by the ARK team.
  • Try to include clear graphics and visualization aspects to make the documentation as understandable as possible. You can also provide mock up sketches to help visualize your documents. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect, our designer can redo them to make them shine.
  • Each piece will be thoroughly read by our team so please do not try and abuse this. DO NOT steal content from other online/offline sources (copy/paste), or write inaccurate and/or not well researched content. We will be using a plagiarism checker and if you are found doing sub par work or plagiarizing, you will not be compensated and you will be excluded from participating in this bounty and potentially more in the future.
  • Get in touch with ‘boldninja’ in ARK Slack to apply for a specific section, send your previous work (if applicable) and to confirm if the topic has been taken.
  • Right now we are only interested in guides and articles written in English. This will change at a later time with more languages and translations down the road.

We want everyone to have an opportunity to write for a topic, so before you start writing on any topic it is vital you get in touch with us (preference will be given to those who provide some previous written works and those who have a higher level of understanding of blockchain and ARK).

Better writers will also have an option to get more topics reserved upfront. Note that if content is sub par or of poor quality, ARK will not compensate. So make sure to bring your A game!

Also if you think there should be some additional documentation not yet covered in any of the broad topics we wrote, don’t hesitate to suggest it (as long as it’s about blockchain, cryptography, technology, or development).

Github repository: https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/docs

Status of current topics: https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/docs/projects/1

If you think some topics are missing you can open a new issue: https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/docs/issues we’ll either approve the new topic or close the issue.

Tasks marked with ARKCrew are in progress by the ARK team and are not available for bounties.

This is going to run in collaboration with the ACF team and once you get confirmed by the ARK team you will apply here for a specific topic you were confirmed for https://arkcommunity.fund/bounties/categories/documentation and we will change status on GitHub from To-Do to Ongoing.
