Hi Peter, thanks for your comment! The purpose of this manifesto is that EA’s core team needs to do the work to fix the community. The community can’t do it themselves. And, the community needs to recognize its shortcoming and how to work together to mediate these issues.....if they even believe these are issues. If I had won the contest, maybe I would be inclined to further elaborate and prioritize, but I didn’t, and unless I’m hired as a community consultant, I won’t be doing such unpaid labor. :)
Ideally my proposals should be combined and tested to see which ones work best. Many of my proposals don’t really exist or have any long-term foresight as to facing upcoming challenges that I’ve addressed. If I were to add anything to this I would have made a point that there is an inaccurate centralization, and the centralization needs to be recalibrated.
Oh I can see what you mean. This post probably already took so many hours to make. Thanks for your response.
I think another part is that there definitely seems to be some variety of opinion on how targeted EA should be vs broad to maximize impact. I think I lean more towards broader, since 100 people doing their best is probably better than 10, even if the 10 are in 5x more high impact roles/situations. I have some other half baked thoughts probably but I should take some time to think them through.
