The IOTA GoShimmer Initiative is aimed to provide help, guidance, and spotlight to the IOTA Nodes Operators Community.
The IOTA GoShimmer Initiative is a collaborative effort to help people in the IOTA Community by introducing consistent workflows around GoShimmer with content, and open source contributions.
IOTA is an open-source distributed ledger technology that allows connected devices to transfer data and IOTA tokens among each other for zero fees.
The GoShimmer node software is in its alpha implementation. We are currently focused on improving the node operators experience around the following four goals:
Quality Assurance/Review goal includes making sure that the tools have no obvious bugs or pitfalls that might turn node operators off from trying further once they run into them, make sure that the provided examples are clear and work for the most common use cases the release is aimed at.
Documentaion goal includes everything related to writing, curating, and sharing content with solid documentation at every launch, that is kept up-to-date, well-written explainations to support GoShimmer node operators.
[Discuss the work-in-progress ideas for documentation here →]
Tools development goal includes automation scripts and management tools to kick start GoShimmer node operators in setting up and operate GoShimmer nodes.
[ ] Seamless GoShimmer and DRAND implementation for node operators (B)
Improvements to module goal includes supporting the IOTA Foundation GoShimmer developers in testing modules, actively participate in network testing and managing modules on the GoShimmer nodes.
Show your interest by adding your information with an issue here on github and join the IOTA Experience Team on the IOTA Discord.
Meet with IOTA Foundation members to exchange ideas, give and receive feedback for the chosen goal(s).
This initiative is possible thanks to the contribution of the IOTA Community members and participants will be invited to participate in feedback collecting and evaluating sessions to further push the capabilities of the IOTA Experience Teams.
