Collection and curation of EA content from across the internet in a way that’s accessible to newcomers, easily searchable, and will last for decades (at least). Seems like it wouldn’t take that long to do a decent job, doesn’t require uncommon skills, and could be pretty high-value.
I would be open to paying people to do this; message me if interested.
We have basically all of the technology to do that on the EA Forum as soon as CEA activates the sequences and recommendations features, which I expect to happen at some point in the next few weeks.
Just curious; do you have opinions on the EAHub, and/or thoughts on how it could do better? That seems to be attempting with some of the content work.
There are two functions I’m looking for: the “archive/index” function, and the “sequences” function. The former should store as much EA content as possible (including stuff that’s not high-quality enough for us to want to direct newcomers to); it’d ideally also have enough structure to make it easily-browsable. The latter should zoom in on a specific topic or person and showcase their ideas in a way that can be easily read and digested.
https://priority.wiki/ is somewhere in between those two, in a way that seems valuable, but that doesn’t quite fit with the functions I outlined above. It doesn’t seem like it’s aiming to be an exhaustive repository of content. But the individual topic pages also don’t seem well-curated enough that I could just point someone to them and say “read all the stuff on this page to learn about the topic”. The latter might change as more work goes into it, but I’m more hopeful about the EA forum sequences feature for this purpose.
The list of syllabi on EAHub is also interesting, and fits with the sequences function, albeit only on one specific topic (introducing EA).
Are those what you were referring to, or are there other places on EAHub where (object-level) content is collected that I didn’t spot?
I was particularly reminded of this by spending twenty minutes yesterday searching for an EA blog I wanted to cite, which has somehow vanished into the aether. EDIT: never mind, found it.
