💡Context - Supporting the entire Holochain Ecosystem

Let's look at the current status...

The developer community within the Holochain Ecosystem has had multiple training and hackathon opportunities and more focused support. However the Advocates, who want to offer their time and get involved, have struggled to discover useful ways to contribute. Partly this was due to the developmental stage of the Holochain framework, necessarily the technical development needs to be progressed before the community can use it.

Now that Holochain is in Beta, we sense the wider Advocate community can increasingly get involved with nurturing and expanding the ecosystem.

As the hApps in development approach their own Betas and public releases they’ll need more widespread testing and feedback. Previously, during Alpha testing, this has often been conducted in a more managed, organic, private manner with professional testers and small, invited, groups. Beta releases change this; requiring greater stress testing and more ‘real-world’ use of apps and modules, while offering us all a greater understanding of the capacities that this new technology framework facilitates.
