Liking the high-level framing. Captures the “zeitgeist” around DAOs, why people are excited about them.
So we MUST get reputation-weighted peer-review right in order to get decentralized coordination right.
@rzurrer agreeing with your thoughts on the needs/restrictions of DAOs and reputation systems. Just put up a post exploring the challenges reputation systems face generally, in coordination, governance and rewarding participants, that you might find interesting: DAO Reputation System Challenges.
I’m also talking with @burrrata about how reputation-based peer review works in the Decred DAO (where I work as a technical writer and submit peer-reviewed invoices each month): SourceCred for documentation - #3 by s_ben
@burrrata, fascinating stuff about colony, voting schemes! As for peer “departments”, while they’re useful, one thing that’s nice about SourceCred I’ve noticed is that domains are there if you look for them (e.g. the Design repo nodes will be related to design), but that cred can cross domains organically. E.g. if I submit an Issue to Design that actually gets commented on and generates a PR that references it, I’d get some “design cred”, even if I’m not a designer. Don’t know the algorithm well enough to generalize about that, but I imagine there are many ways to meaningfully measure reputation across domains.
