Proposal: Ecosystem Wiki(s)

[Done] Establishing NEAR Wiki Ecosystem

Wiki has been established: https://wiki.near.org I would like to launch a Wiki for NEAR Ecosystem and hope to gather support from community to fill it in and help maintain going forward. Reason Currently there are some info on the https://near.org page but it’s naturally limited and updated slowly as it’s designed to attract attention and route people. Future rebrand is going to just make that more clear but not going to create more place for content. Website is also maintained by the Foundat…

You know, when we think about it, this forum is kind of a NEAR wiki for wikis!

@jlwaugh I don’t really understand this post.

I don’t think it make sense to double the work that is done on Github for ecosystem map or in the upcoming Wiki here. Or are you just collecting the info to the move to Wiki?

Sorry! I’m not intending to duplicate any efforts. Just sharing my perspective and hoping to contribute. We can delete or move anything to the Wiki.

Here is another collection of links / content:

NEAR Community Mapping Near Community and nodes

My intention here is to provide a consolidated list of the most important links for getting started in the NEAR community. We are creating so many opportunities to learn, grow, and build your own value systems throughout ecosystems of communities. That’s why this forum post simply aims to redirect anyone who is exploring the NEARverse Please feel free to edit and include more places to go! For a map of the whole NEAR ecosystem, you can refer …

Thanks, @jlwaugh - this was discussed before the wiki was created, it is a great way to start populating the wiki.

I hope we can begin moving this over to the Wiki, which is now live: https://wiki.near.org/
