7 days agoI’m not sure I understand the team premise…
They want a developer to work on adding multimedia applications or features to the Fediverse, and they also want artists to make content for the Fediverse, both of which make sense, but why team them up? Is the intention that the content creator member be the first user of the features the developer is developing? If so there might be a boring lead-time where the content creator can’t do anything and they’re just waiting on the developer to build a thing.
I’m not saying it’s a bad idea necessarily… I think I’m just confused at the shape of what they’re hoping to come out of this.
Ah, okay! So it’s meant to be more like “user research” than, like, a GameJam which might also bring together a developer and artist, but for the purpose of collaborating on some finished project.
That makes sense! Though part of me feels like maybe it would have been easier to find a bunch of content creators and developers separately, and then pair them up or something. I assume a content creator who arrives together as a team with a developer will already have a lot more context than the average user. 😛
But anything more that gets done is sweet, so good luck! We’re all rooting for you.
