This is THE BEST initiative tin the whole lifetime of Steemit so far. Congratulations for coming up with it and for carrying it out. It might just represent the salvation of the platform.
A question - what about helping out with forming the communities which produce content which is not a 'high' quality. I am talking about various interests' clubs or similar... Thanks!
Keep up the good work. It is very appriciated and extremely necessary.
Thanks for your comment. Good question re: forming the communities. In terms of rewards, Steemit really seems to be more like Medium than Reddit. Voters mostly reward longer, presentable work, rather than conversations. But there's no reason that we can't have both. It's not the focus of our project, but I strongly encourage you to pursue that (if I'm understanding your interest correctly there). Hopefully, once the SP is well enough distributed, there will be people in each community who can add some rewards with their votes. Until then, you could focus on building those out in one or two areas and seeing if you can find a benefactor who might have an interest in that area also (or an interest in seeing it grow).

Thanks for your reply. Yes, you do understand me correctly :)
OK, I will start building a running community here at Steemit.
I will start with a proper introduction and guidelines. Something like this post on a lesser scale.
I will 'keep it together' with #steemitrunningclub tag and with moderating. Of course, I will need / build a team of moderators. There will be events, weekly digests, ...
The promotion will go through Steemit and related channels. I will also use other networks to attract members.
May I notify you when The into will be ready to be published? You just might help to launch it. If you feel like it, of course.
It may be a model of how to build a community here :)
Thanks for your attention and help!
