Dev Ecosystem Collaboration

[METADATA] SDG rating

This project will help with the following SDGs.

Making the Cardano decentralisation technology available to young people in many regions of the world. Helping them build their next societies

• 4: Quality Education
• 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
• 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Update the current BuildingOnCardano.dev website for community curated content, make it searchable, implement the "foot-hold" code examples and add support for developer collaboration.

• Create a JSON representation of the resources @ https://buildingoncardano.dev
• Create a Developer Collaboration App, including forum.
• Developer Collab App will be SSI (Using Cardano Blockchain) enabled with "Logon Using DID" functionality.

• Continue work on Overview Diagrams

[IMPACT] How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

Helps with on-boarding developers into the Cardano ecosystem quickly by removing barriers to entry by having a consolidated community driven index.

With a focus on young-people we can help with generational education of how they can take more control of their society using the tools of decentralisation. i.e. how can use Marlowe etc

[IMPACT] How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

Number of developers that engage with:

• The website
• The collaborative app

[IMPACT] Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

All outputs will be shared as Open Source within the selfdriven-foundation github repo and at https://buildingoncardano.dev

The selfdriven Foundation is supporting this initiative as a community project.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

The selfdriven team supporting this project have a wealth of experience in education and technology.

The selfdriven Foundation was founded in 2019 and the team is highly engaged within the Cardano community. It has a robust organisational structure.

Mark Byers (Initiator & Co-founder) is a qualified Engineer and has 30+ years experience delivering internet based high-grade solutions to market, including the vision to co-found the https://entityOS.cloud service in 2000.

Mark has been involved in the Cardano ecosystem since 2019 and has a strong technical understanding and involvement in community projects and presented at the Brisbane Cardano Summit 2022 as part of the selfdriven Project (https://slfdrvn.io).

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

The main goals are:

• Update the BuildingOnCardano.dev App to be based on JSON definition file.
• Make the site searchable
• Allow multiple views of the data
• Support many languages
• Create the collaborative app.

All goals are achievable based on the deep development experience.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed breakdown of your project’s milestones and each of the main tasks or activities to reach the milestone plus the expected timeline for the delivery.

• Create a JSON representation of the resources currently @ https://buildingoncardano.dev (2 weeks)
• Create a Developer Collab App. (12 weeks)
• Developer Collab App Will be SSI (Using Cardano Blockchain) enabled with "Logon Using DID" functionality. (4 weeks)

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please describe the deliverables, outputs and intended outcomes of each milestone.

• buildingoncardano-dev.json
• app.buildingoncardano.dev

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

• Create a JSON representation of the resources currently @ https://buildingoncardano.dev: 2000ADA
• Create a Developer Collab App : 22000 ADA
• Developer Collab App Will be SSI (Using Cardano Blockchain) enabled with "Logon Using DID" functionality: 1000 ADA

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

When entering a new technical ecosystem, it can be hard for a developer to get their bearings.

The quicker they can get their bearings, the quicker they can start creating within the Cardano ecosystem and creating solutions.

It is a small investment to help a lot of developers.

[IMPORTANT NOTE] The Applicant agreed to Fund10 rules and also that data in the Submission Form and other data provided by the project team during the course of the project will be publicly available.
