The second is the building of an online education platform on Steem. I would try to decouple 1. from 2. so that you don't hold up 1. until you have 2.
Very much agree, we will therefore divide it into two phases. Whatever happens in phase one we will work on this minnow university which we use discord for and phase 2 is about building the platform. So what ever happens we will work on building up educational materials and inviting other educators.
There are really good supporting services (dTube, dSound, dLive), fairly mature coding tool chains and the infrastructure is improving.
I agree I think we will use one of the platforms you mentioned, @dlive for online tutorials.
That's why I see a big part of steem's future in communities accessing steem via third-party interfaces specifically tuned for the needs of those communities - and not all those communities will be content-creation based.
It seems like it will move in that direction with SMTs and hivemind. I hope our education platform will be one of them.
Thank you for giving your thoughts @eturnerx! I hope your bot will also find its place by helping communities to connect with their members :)
