The Catalyst problems have been applied below to each of the applicable solution ideas
Focus areas - What's projects are already built in the ecosystem? What are the issues and insights for each idea and market? What ideas should look for funding? Who wants to collaborate on proposal ideas and what skills can they offer?
Ecosystem map
A visual map of the products and services available in the Cardano ecosystem that is maintained by the community. Items in the product could be ranked by user upvotes or also categories into whether people just like the product or are actively using it. An updated ecosystem map will help bring more awareness on what is available to new and existing community members and also help Catalyst proposers know what already exists before suggesting new ideas.
Helps with solving problems:
Catalyst education resources
All education resources for Catalyst can be aggregated in a single place to help people quickly learn about how Catalyst funding works. The resources could mostly be a fact based wiki managed by the community but also could have community created resources like videos, images or infographics. Community moderators should be able to update the wiki and either rank or recommend community posted resources.
Helps with solving problems:
Project ideas collaboration
Community members would benefit from having a place to collaborate on specific ideas, markets and problems with the purpose of looking for potential ideas for proposals. The community would always be able to see the history of these insights and collaborations on each topic which will help for a faster education for new members. Categorising the ideas will also be important to make it easy for community members to search and filter through the content. Experts would be able to contribute at anytime that can help speed up the process of exploring new ideas.
Helps with solving problems:
Collaborators list
The community would benefit from having an easy way for anyone to find other people who are interested in collaborating on proposals. When searching for collaborators people would benefit from being able to filter by skills they are looking for to complement their own. Community members will also benefit from being able to better validate peoples skills as well as how they can communicate with potential collaborators they want to reach out to. A list of potential collaborators will make it easy for anyone to find collaborators before they submit a proposal.
Helps with solving problems:
Hackathons & accelerators
Ideas and proposals could go through different funding or development paths. Hackathons or accelerators could be organised by the community or existing product teams to help collaborators experience working with other people before forming proposal teams.
