I very much support this initiative. During 2022, polkadot hub leaded the efforts around bringing educational content to LATAM + Spain. Specially, i much appreciate the all the events for brining new developers into our ecosystem (the hackathon + rust course were key to bring new developers). Thanks for all the hard work and keep it up!
Hello all,
Without a doubt, the Polkadot Spanish Hub has been doing a lot of background work to support the ecosystem over the past year. Overall, this proposal seems to be the next step in tech education, moving away from ordinary users to focus on onboarding future developers.
Some context and interrogations about this proposal:
On Polkadot, members of the Polkadot Spanish hub previously requested funding to build their website/portal and kickstart operations as shown here:
On Kusama, members of Polkadot Spanish Hub are currently running a bounty for Spanish content (news videos, tutorials, ecosystem updates, etc) and events (side events, meetups, etc) as shown here:
It is for these precise reasons that I am wondering about the relevance of some of the items proposed by this initiative, given that:
Precisely, your youtube channel has a playlist with Cryptonitas' brilliant tutorials on Polkadot-JS and Polkadot concepts. Yet, with this proposal, you are planning to double up on video content that has already been done to excellent standards.
Furthermore, according to some community members, there should be a move away from making tutorials/videos about Polkadot-JS, especially because we already have a lot of user-friendly wallets in this ecosystem that need more visibility and adoption to make Polkadot technologies accessible to ordinary users without requiring that they take a course on developers' interfaces and Polkadot technologies.
Although I do believe that Treasury funds need to support ecosystem-wide initiatives in-and-out, I also think that these initiatives need to offer something NOVEL, rather than repeat what other people/projects are already doing for the sake of branding. In this precise case, I do think that a lot of the content that The Polkadot Spanish Hub proposes to do is already being done by other community members, which deserves to be acknowledged and respected within the community itself.
Thank you for your consideration.
