Description
Following its launch goals and achieving important results now, Wiki Subgovernance transforms into Wiki 2.0 and requests tokens for the next period of its activity.
Wiki is product and team
The Wiki is a real product and a team that has achieved results over the past period:
- 22 world languages.
- More than 1000 published articles.
- More than 100 authors and translators.
- Members Selection Contest was held to represent the international community.
- Held 9 regular WRC contests to create added value for the Everscale community and help a wide range of users and developers.
Following decentralization
In keeping with the goals of decentralized subgovernance, Wiki SG just held #42 Wiki SG Contest Proposal: Members Selection and expanded its membership with 9 new international members.

Translation of the Everscale Whitepaper
Wiki works for the community! Following this motto and requests from the community, the Wiki translation team quickly translated the Everscale Whitepaper draft into Russian. We plan to synchronize this document with the final version and publish the original and translation. If there is a request from the community, we are ready to translate the Everscale Whitepaper into other languages present in the Wiki.
Changes in the Wiki 2.0
Wiki SG migrates from the previous model of regular contests (WRC) to the decentralized DeContests.
Presumably, the old WRC contest model will remain temporarily for a transitional period, but only for Wiki authors and translators. This is because the DeContests competitive model creates some unresolvable collisions (see next note).
For example, it is not clear how to evaluate, through DeContest, two different authors who did the job of the same quality, but the volume of work for one of them is several times greater than that of the other. The problem is even more aggravated if the quality of the work is different, and there are dozens of authors, and they have written (translated) hundreds of articles of different sizes into several different languages. The correct assessment of the contribution with such a complex combination of factors can now only be decided through the model of WRC contests.
All other contests on the Wiki SG will be decentralized.
Specific Wiki 2.0 plans
Wiki SG will pay more attention to interaction with the community, changing workflows, inviting new active members to participate in the work of the Wiki.
- Decentralize subgovernance processes more
- More attention to the community’s opinion, including polls to improve the work of the Wiki, analysis and implementation of the best ideas and suggestions;
- Regular work with the community through the invitation of an SMM manager for wide coverage of the Wiki’s work within the Everscale ecosystem and outside;
- Increase the team of editors to improve the quality of materials;
- Invite as many active community members as possible to solve actual problems in the Wiki;
- Increase the number of articles in English;
- Update articles about the Everscale ecosystem;
- Update the Everscale Whitepaper draft and publish the final version;
- Hold a contest to increase community involvement in the work of the Wiki.
Also Wiki SG is planning some interesting innovations. Announcements and related documents will be presented to the community in the future.
The Wiki SG will continue to evolve to better meet the expectations of the Everscale community.
