I have been calling recently for Steemit inc. to hire a technical author/writer to better communicate the functionality and details of the Steem software to developers and witnesses. I noticed that you recently started a contest to source technical writers from the Steem community and this is a good sign.

Would you consider implementing tight requirements in code for formal commenting rules, to ensure that all code is commented in a way that newcomers can stand some chance of understanding?

Open source projects such as the social networking framework 'elgg' (Elgg.org) apply this approach and code cannot be accepted into their repositories unless it meets commenting standards. The result is that their code is approachable and attracts valuable help from outside their core team when needed.

Also, I notice that Steemit inc. appears to have no females involved in the business and social relations process. This might be, in my opinion, a large part of why Steem has significant barriers to adoption and a low retention level - we need solid logic/systems, but also a human/empathic element too!

Do you have any intention of bringing blockchain balance with more ladies? :)
