> Is it even possible to track non digital contributions- so far SourceCred works wonderfully with OSS and Discourse/Discord but how do we extend this ?

## First, I wanted to say that I appreciate your curiosities..

I read this point you shared and I imagined what might come of the research currently being conducted in our server/ community. I believe the Meta-eth research team might observe the cultural shifts and influences and document the more nuanced contributions just by way of thier research on governance. But that’s just my opinion.

> We currently have a few contributions that I think have been undervalued during the course of this project. While one in particular is a digital contribution the nuance of this contribution has not been addressed to my knowledge. (It’s our meeting attendance bot)

## Ethnography Research

Back on July 30th (🦁Leo Season!♌) @Ellie introduced the concept of bringing [Ethnography Research](https://digital-ethnography.com/) to sourcecred’s discord server in the following post:

- [Research Introductions: The Blockchain Governance Observatory (for Discord)](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/research-introductions-the-blockchain-governance-observatory-for-discord/1199)

## ⏩Fast forward to the time of this post…

While the researchers are collecting data (with consent) they are also dropping by to hold various forums with our community.

The next one is called : [_“Blockchain and Legitimacy”_](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SvPu-kjoTQ3jRoNiQfBjvAnx5PRiiBt2aw2unQwTbdk/edit?usp=sharing "edited") (👈 pre-reading 😉 ) in the [SoureCred server](https://discord.gg/mRGdBT86) this coming **Monday (11 October) at 11:30am PST**

### ✨ I hope you’ll consider attending the upcoming forum. ✨
