# Namada Community Builder Handbook
> Note: this is an evolving docs page, check it from time to time to stay up-to-date with the latest guidelines.
## Joining the Namada Community Builders
Namada Community Builders are individuals who are aligned with Namada’s [mission and vision](https://namada.net/vision). They actively collaborate to nurture and expand the Namada community.

To become a Community Builder:
1. Join the Namada [Discord](http://discord.gg/namada) and verify yourself
2. Part of this process will ask you to sign up for [Coordinape](http://coordinape.com).
3. You can sign up with an email or an ETH address.
- It is up to you to decide how you add an address, but please note - this address will not receive funds, it will only be used to authenticate your access to Coordinape.
4. Fill out the Namada Community Builder [Form](https://namada.deform.cc/communitybuilders):
- Paste the ETH address you used to sign up for Coordinape into the Community Builder form.
- Finish filling out the form on DeForm and hit 'submit'.
5. Once you have filled out this form, an early community Steward will review your application and offer you the 'Community Builder' role on Discord, giving you an orange account badge.
6. This will give you access to several channels on the server listed below for Onboarding.

## Onboarding
If you’re selected to join the Community Builders, an existing member of the CB will reach out and you will be onboarded to the coordination platforms:

1. On the Namada Discord Server:
- You’ll be assigned the “Community Builder” role
- You’ll also be invited to the following channels:
- `#cb-onboarding`
- `#cb-jamming`
- `#cb-contributions`
- `#cb-help`
- Once you’re in, you’ll need to get up-to-speed by:
- Introducing yourself to the other Community Builders
- Reading all pinned messages and linked resources
2. On Coordinape:
- You’ll be invited to join the Namada Community Builder circle
- Get yourself familiar with the platform

## Contributing

### Contribution Guidelines

**Content Relevance:**
Ensure your submissions align with Namada's values and mission, with a focus on its commitment to privacy and blockchain utility.

**Avoid Price Speculation:**
Discussions involving cryptocurrency pricing or 'moon' references are not permitted. The focus should be on the impact and value proposition of Namada's technology, not on financial gains.

**Diverse Content Formats Accepted:**
Your contributions can be in the form of written work, podcasts, videos, or visual art. Choose the format that best conveys your message and utilizes your skills.

**Maintain Factual Accuracy:**
Maintain the integrity of your content by ensuring it is factually accurate. Feel free to ask other CB members for fact-checking or review!

**No Length Restrictions, but Quality is Key:**
Contributions can be of any length, provided they are insightful and demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.

## Tracking Contributions
Using Coordinape, Community Builders can publicly document and look at their and other builders’ contributions. Make sure you keep track of all your contributions.

When adding your contribution to Coordinape, please include the following information:
- Link to contribution (must be accessible publicly)
- What? Describe the nature of your contribution
- Why? Describe the impact of your contribution

Once the contribution has been added to Coordinape, share the link to your contribution in `#cb-contributions`. If you are a Community Builder who would like to discuss another CB member’s contributions, do so in a thread attached to the message that they have posted in Discord.

## Inspiration
Here are some ideas for contributions.

### Community Management and Outreach:

- Mentor and onboard newcomers into the Namada community.
- Actively participate in community channels like Twitter, Discord and Telegram, guiding conversations and disseminating important information.
- Share successful methods of community engagement with other Community Builders to foster a learning environment.
- Launch regional campaigns tailored to local culture and issues to attract a more diversified audience
- Collaborate with local educational institutions to offer workshops, or courses about privacy in blockchain
- Collab with Namada core contributors (Marketing in this case fyi) by conducting outreach efforts for Namada to be covered by different publications, podcasts, media etc.

### Content Creation and Amplification:
- Create content that helps educate a broader community about Namada and the broader vision on why privacy is paramount in decentralized systems.
- Engage in journalistic endeavors to create articles or interviews focused on Namada.
- Write technical documentation or guides related to Namada's ecosystem.
- Offer layman’s term summaries of technical content
- Speak about Namada's privacy-centric features at blockchain events, workshops, or meetups.
- Live stream discussions, tutorials, or reviews related to Namada.
- Leading Private Library discussions.

### Development and Technical Contributions:
- Update or improve developer documentation
- Share developer updates and drive the ecosystem forward
- Offer insights into protocol releases, providing early feedback from a community perspective
- Create how-to guides for interacting with the protocol
- Help onboard others into operating and interacting with the Namada protocol
- Helping others in the various communities within Namada (e.g. being an intentionally assistive member of the Validator community)

Don’t forget that you’re not alone! Use these Discord channels for jamming on ideas, collaborating, asking for feedback or questions:
- `#cb-jamming`
- `#cb-help`
