I met Bex by attending a weekly community call for Source Cred.
What I learned about the worke she does:
Bex does a lot of documentation at Source Cred and does not have much tech experience.
SourceCred uses an algorithm to determine how much value a contribution or contributor added to a project overall.
When a contribution is made to a project, SourceCred’s purpose is to "see" that contribution and assign it an amount of
"Cred" based on how much value it brought to the project as a whole. Each community implimenting this
algorithm gets to determine the weight of specific contributions.
Cred can then be turned into Grain.
Grain is a project-specific digital currency that is minted and distributed to contributors who have Cred in that project.
Grain is tied to your Cred; as you earn Cred, you also earn Grain. Unlike Cred,
Grain is a form of currency and is meant to be transferable both inside and outside of the project.
I am already attending weekly meetings and contributing to projects and helping to plug away at the
backlog of operational items to address. I'm not working directly with Bex, but the work I do supports
her work overall. This algorithm is being backed by a generous supporter and we are all being paid to create it/ debug it in the process.
