The first documentation contest is underway and we are looking for people to contribute. Our goal is to crowd-source world-class documentation of all things Mastercoin for our Wiki.
For inspiration we would love if the Wiki content is on par with the professional approach of these: Ripple Wiki, Bitcoin.it Wiki, or Blockchain.info API documentation and Blockchain.info Support.
Goal:
Document as much as possible by using social media channels to obtain the best, crowd sourced content.
Bounty:
The total bounty will be $5000. Contest ends December 3, 2013 at Midnight GMT.
Rules:
The bounty will be divided up by number of pages posted to the Wiki. Only QUESTION (#1), ANSWER (#2) and WIKI (#4) tasks are paid and split equally.
Anyone can work on an item so if you only do #1 or #2 or #4 then you will only get 33% credit so long as it is completed and gets through #4; the only exception is when there are translations involved.
For example, if 50 pages are posted each page gets paid out $100, if you did four #1 tasks of Trello items that were posted in English and translated into Hebrew then you will receive $100.
$5000 / 50 = 100, $100 / 4 = $25, $25 x 4 = $100
Get Started:
Start out on the contest’s Trello Board, we have seeded it with several topics. You can log in using a google account or set up an account.
If you do not see a question or subject matter that you want to work on, post a comment here describing the subject or question, please keep it simple (i.e, What is Mastercoin; Mastercoin Links; Constructing a Transaction; Transaction Processing).
We are paying out on content already submitted. If you already have content on the Wiki you should post a comment on the Trello board with a link to the content.
If you are translating into a second language, make a comment on the Trello item so you get credit (make sure to include a link to the wiki article in another language).
Directions:
2. ANSWER: When you get some answers (you can answer your own question, but the purpose is for it to be a community effort) pull together the content you believe should be used for that particular item and post it to the Trello Card. Once this is done one of the Admin’s will move it to the Voting list.
3. VOTING: You must get 3 Votes on your Trello Card and no one making an absolute objection to your content. We will ask the developers and the Board members to vote. Feel free to post on bitcointalk.org.
4. WIKI: Once the content is up-voted someone will need to obtain a log in to the Mastercoin Wiki and add a page with the content. Then put the wiki link into the Trello Card and post on the contest discussion board on bitcointalk.org that you are done.
Contest will end at midnight GMT on December 3, 2013.
Please post questions here as a comment and they will be answered within 24 hours.
