This is a bit of a belated post, but for those of you who are newer here, we wanted to introduce @jared properly, as the core team’s main user-facing member.
As one of the very first community members, Jared (aka Luke on some socials) has always been among our most active contributors – helpful and welcoming to all since the beginning of the project. When he applied to officially help improve communication between the core dev team and the community, we were really glad to have him on board. He knows the project inside out, is a whizz at node operation, and advocates constantly for better communication and more decentralization.
You can find him on the forum at @jared. You’ll also find him manning the @Support account, with the help of the core devs if bugs are involved.
We thought we’d also take the opportunity to introduce… us. @alias is multiple people – created for the core dev team to collect and respond to community feedback and collaboratively address bigger questions in a hopefully more thoughtful way.
Many of us are not great communicators (to put it mildly), so in an effort to be better, we’re working together on it. For example, sometimes someone will provide expertise or insight on a particular issue, and another will write/edit and publish. We hope this will result in clearer communication and transparency for broader project-related developments and decisions.
So if you have a question or feedback about the project and you’re not sure who to tag - tag @alias. Or send us a PM anytime. Nice to meet you!
