Building with community
This Substack constitutes my lab notebook as I hack together Filigreen (formerly: “a Bank for DAOs”). It’s also the main tool I’ll use to build with community. Think of it as a record of my conversations and collaborations, so that I can give credit where credit is due.
This data won’t be as precise as a GitHub commit record or as objective as a blockchain. But it’s a key piece of how I plan to coordinate with my community, and how I plan to recognize contributions. The private posts (gated by a ridiculous paywall) go to a smaller circle that’s agreed to observe the Chatham House rule and Creative Commons attribution (see below). The public posts go out to everyone. They’re both part of the same record.
Like Filigreen itself, this blog is based on trust. Like Filigreen, it’s also an experiment.

The rules of Joshua & Community
Don’t reveal names. You agree to keep to the Chatham House rule when it comes to the conversations and communications shared here. That means: feel free to disclose and use any information shared here, but do not reveal the name / affiliation of its source or the name / affiliation of any other participant in the project.
Give credit. You agree to give appropriate credit when sharing or adapting information from the project by linking or citing the project along with this attribution rule, but not in a way that suggests endorsement.
For an explanation of why these rules, see the longer rationale.
