Suggestion for Utopian Categories

About Utopian

Open Source software has always been associated with voluntary work by individuals across the world who don't necessarily get paid for all their hard work. This software runs on every device, website and application you can think of. It is often created by volunteers, hobbyists and enthusiasts who selflessly dedicate their time and effort to the cause.
Utopian is building an open source economy, in which the people who make valuable contributions to open source software projects get rewarded for their hard work. Built ontop of the Steem blockchain, Utopian uses the wisdom of the crowd to reward valuable contributions. Project owners and other contributors all get to decide how rewards are distributed through voting or liking individual contributions, and they also have the option to support contributors directly by paying them in a cryptocurrency called STEEM, which can easily be traded for other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

What types of contributions are allowed on Utopian?

As a general rule, any original work that adds value to an Open Source project can be shared on Utopian. See the contribution guidelines.

Utopian does have categories into which one may post and these include the following:

• Suggestions
• Sub-projects
• Development
• Bug Hunting
• Translation
• Graphics
• Analysis
• Visibility
• Documentation
• Tutorials
• Video Tutorials
• Copywriting

This list is not final and more categories may be added as the need arises. If you have a contribution that does not fit into any one of these categories, then feel free to get in touch with Utopian moderators to suggest a category addition.

Proposal

As you can see, you can contribute to the Utopian platform in many categories. However, my thinking is missing a category within these categories.
For example, I have an open source game and I want to contribute to the soundtracks of the game. Where can I get this? Utopian can help me here.

As you know, graphic is designed in Graphics category. Let's take a look at the rules of the Graphics category.

My suggestion:

Just add the Soundtrack category with rules similar to the rules in the graphics category. People can make music they create on the Utopian platform. Be the original files title in the titles. People have to show the stages of construction. Thus, people with the ability to create music can contribute to open source projects with the Utopian platform.

Mockups / Examples

Benefits

The benefit of this suggestion is to bring together people who have the ability to create music and people who need music in Utopian.
