RE: Use Case For a Particular Mutual Aid Society
Education is an important part of a Mutual Aid Society and it is a useful way for Steemit to reach out to the public. Fuzzy, a long-time Bitshares community member had built an online "easy" learning platform known as the codeacademy.com and he has some successes with it. IMHO, there could be much synergy to reap if both of you could work together, and build on what is already established.
You can check out more information here - https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,20477.msg264450.html#msg264450. Fuzzy is a member in Steemit too.
I agree that building on top of existing systems can be useful for certain aspects of this proposal. In particular, if a user submits an entry that asks for a scholarship to learn the skills that codeacademy.com offers courses for, then this would be very useful. However, learning to code is not the only choice for continued life-long learning. Other possibilities are learning a new language or taking an acting class.
The scope of this proposal is much larger than what fuzzy has initiated by setting up weekly sessions for Bitshares community members to simultaneously take self-paced learning courses.
With that said, where overlap exists, I am happy to work together.
