I'm thinking of creating a HOW-TO-FORK.md file or a new section in the README.
This would outline key steps such as 'choosing a ticker'.

The aim is to highlight that our discussions are largely framework-centric, while also providing guidance on envisioning the initial and subsequent blockchain instances derived from this framework.

WDYT? Maybe too early?

Might as well. I like the idea that we are planning out the beginning and end at the same time. In that sense, this is a perfect thing to introduce.

Some thoughts:

There are three reasons why the reader may want to fork this repository.

  1. to create a pull-request, to contribute to this repository
  2. to maintain a branch for an alternate plan for a fork of Gaia in the spirit of this repository
  3. to discuss the genesis of a split for another project

For cases 2 and 3, make sure the vision/mission statements and the development/growth/maintenance plans in your README are substantially different (they explain why the fork is needed).
