RE: Let us the Community take Steem Governance into our own Hands!
A couple of things for you to take into account. Number one and foremost is the simple fact that not all people are coders, I have looked at git-hub, it may be where a lot of the coding and such is done for steem blockchain, but as just an average computer/social media user it is a mess. It is hard to understand from an outsider view. Discord/steem chat, not everyone likes the chat rooms. Myself I do not mind using them and popping into them on a pretty regular basis, there are people who do not want to or who can not due to language barriers.
It is a simple process to use most web browsers standard translate functions to read a post, you may lose a little but not much.
So if you are going to truly be an organization that is for and includes all steemians regardless of tech or language barriers you will need to have a steemit blog page whether hosted in steemit or on busy or steempeak or one of the other front ends, you need a steem blockchain blog where people can go and leave a comment, an Idea, or ask a question, and receive a response even if it is an automated bot response such as thank you we will get back with you soon.
I have completely given up asking witnesses for much help because all they do is refer a person to git-hub. Please keep this in mind.
I know that most people are not coders. Which is why my proposal has an explicit communicators role that is intended as a bridge to non-technical users. Communicators will post on chain and in chatrooms and wherever else the users are and keep them informed. And also relay user issues back to the developers so not every user needs to touch github :)
If you are interested in helping make sure that we do not loose the average users, it would be great to have you in the communicators team!
I am glad to see that there will be a contact point for the regular social user. At this time I will have to bow out until I have made up my mind about the entire situation. I still think what has been happening this past week is wrong on so many levels, and I am pleased to see that you at least are taking a different direction than most responses I have seen to this.
Thank you! There are already a a few people expressing interest and we will see over the following days if that will be enough :)
