# Description

* * *

We formed a SourceCred team for the Odyssey Hackathon 2019. @mzargham, @decentralion, @brianlitwin, @Brutalfluffy, @lb attended.

While there, we prototyped an ‘Odyssey Plugin’ which was intended to be a “manual mode” graph editor, allowing users to use the SourceCred protocol to assign cred in arbitrary projects. We also prototyped a pretty sweet graph visualizer for SourceCred:

It was a community building opportunity for SourceCred and got us a bit of exposure. @LB and @Brutalfluffy also did a bunch of design/visual art brainstorming. Check out this awesome poster that @LB made:

# To Do

Find all the references and links to “Odyssey Hackathon” in this forum and update them to point to this Initiative.

@decentralion to confirm, until the [Discourse Plugin Upgrade: tracking wiki updates](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/discourse-plugin-upgrade-tracking-wiki-updates/462) is created, this will result in 0 Cred for the person who makes these updates right? lol

Correct–currently wiki modifications are invisible to SourceCred.
