This document looks at the core information needed to understand Project Catalyst, how quality information will benefit the community, suggestions as to how that information could be stored and maintained along with who could be suited to work on these resources.
Why is high quality information needed?
Problems
- Complicated Catalyst process - The Catalyst process is complicated with numerous phases, stages and a number of complex roles that people can take on.
- Confusion and ambiguity - There is no easy to access, up to date and well documented set of resources on the definitions, terminology, roles and processes for Project Catalyst.
Use cases for better information
- Reduce confusion and ambiguity - A managed set of resources that is supported by IOG would help people have an easy access way to know the key terminology and processes behind Project Catalyst and reduce any confusion between community members.
- Translations - A solid foundation of the core information in English can be more easily maintained and translated to other languages. This is key to help encourage a wider adoption of Project Catalyst in more countries.
- Videos and content - Content creators would be able to use correct definitions and present useful information from the guides from sources they can rely on to help promote a common understanding.
- Technical work and data structures - Community members who want to help build tooling and projects within the Project Catalyst system can use the definitions and guides to ensure their data models accurately reflect the official information and reduce wasted efforts.
