Description

Talented, competent creators who don’t know the specific people with the accurate, cryptic answers they need become frustrated and leave Decentraland. Dedicated, long-time Decentralites who have waited in vain for essential documentation have already begun to leave. Current documentation is inconsistent and incomplete. It takes a long time to track down relevant, current and functional information. Decentral Ed, Canessa and AwedJob, with 18 years of teaching experience combined, will help more people faster, and more effectively with up-to-date information located in one place, and updated frequently. Decentral Ed will look at existing public questions, and we will ask people about their gaps in understanding during twice monthly “DEd Reckoning” sessions (“open knowledge” discussions held in the DEd.dcl.eth world using DCL Cast) to find out what people need to know. We will then create documentation addressing these topics. We will deliver subject specific, cross-standard, information in text form located in one authoritative place. An online document can be more easily updated and maintained than a soon to be outdated “how to video”. Our documents may also be printed, making them readily available when you are away from your computer as well. Text is easily queried, referenced, and digested by search engines and large language model A.I. Decentral Ed will separate documents into three standards, update them regularly, and ensure their accuracy. These standards are: Governance, Social and Development. We will write documentation for people at the novice and advanced beginner levels. These are the first two of five different skill levels: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert. We feel that there is an existing body of proficient and expert level documentation. We will not be creating documentation for those top two skill levels. Decentral Ed will produce a minimum of 200 documents over the course of 2,000 work hours during a period of ten months. The subject matter for these documents will come from DEd Reckoning sessions and from existing unanswered questions found on Discord servers, Reddit posts, GitHub repos, and StackOverflow posts. We will fill existing gaps like “how to rotate a scene in SDK7” and “Deploying multiple video screens from one m3u8 video stream.” The “DEd Reckoning” sessions will begin as twice monthly sessions but may increase to twice weekly sessions as schedules allow. These will be streamed live inside DEd.dcl.eth using DCL Cast, streamed to Kick, and uploaded to YouTube for archival purposes. By the time we submitted our proposal in the third quarter, there were other, previously submitted proposals in the Documentation category. With their passage the remaining budget for this category was $9,000. Our proposal was therefore considered outside of budget. This proposal is our re-submission at the start of the fourth quarter. Recent changes have required AwedJob to take a full-time teaching position. This is why the project duration has been increased to 10 months. Both Canessa and AwedJob will only be able to commit a few hours a week during their full-time jobs. The Roadmap and Milestones have been edited to reflect this.

Hello community! The grantees were finally able to make the full refund of the grant. [Here](https://etherscan.io/tx/0xa064f5dc14cda628ec8edc484c98d7d8bfeb9899c567400468e5f7ad48acc4b0) is the TX with which the case is closed. We consider it a very healthy action for the DAO when a project cannot be completed, to be able to assume the issue and return the unused funds. In this case, the total grant has been returned, even though the team had a couple of months of work, contributions to the DAO, and progress. Greetings and we hope to have you in the grant program in the future! @AwedJob @Canessa @HPrivakos @Tobik @rizk @Zino @fifitango

This week I am off for spring break and I have some extra time to explain my reasons for revoking the Decentral Education grant with Canessa. I have had some major life events that require more of my time. I am passionate about Decentraland. However I cannot spend time on projects here to the detriment of my health or my family. I began a new full-time teaching job as a Special Education teacher working with Emotional Behavior Disorder (EBD) children in middle school. This is a rewarding and fulfilling vocation but it is also physically and emotionally draining. I must spend time away from this job being kind and loving to myself if I expect to bring my best to my students. Two days ago, my wife and I returned from Rochester, Minnesota where she finished recovering from major surgery. She and I are both home now and I am able to spend my break caring for her as she gets back to full strength. She is expected to gain most of her mobility in three weeks and to have a full recovery in about six months. I appreciate everyone who believed in Canessa and I and cast their vote to pass our proposal.

Hello DAO Committee (@HPrivakos @Tobik @rizk). As we anticipated a few days ago, the team is deciding to stop the execution of the grant due to personal matters. We are very sorry since they are a team highly committed to the platform and the community. The team has already returned $6,000 to the DAO, and the contract must be revoked. We will communicate with the grantees soon to see what happens with the remaining $3,000 that are vested. Thank you!

If you are looking for the Decentral Ed channel on the DCL DAO Discord server, use [this link](https://discord.com/channels/894658869391933540/1166460754497638461). I just went to the DAO server and found a channel and category redesign from my previous visit. Hope this helps.

Congrats, do your best :slight_smile:

We've reached and exceeded the acceptance threshold! Thank you to the supporters of this proposal. We appreciate your recognition for the need of documentation that will assist novice and advanced beginner users of Decentraland. Whether it's a renter looking to deploy an exciting new idea to a parcel or an artist wanting to display their NFT art, you agree with us that this information needs to be easy to find, up to date, and extensive. We look forward to continuing our work on the Decentral Education initiative.

Im voting no on this. I don't see how hundreds of documents will help this platform grow.

pabloOct 02, 2023

Going to vote yes because I doubt there will be much more documentation proposals, but I would like to see more quarter proposals than a year proposals that get all the budget of the quarter and cancel any other proposal. You could get the same amount by renewing a proposal every quarter.
