This repository holds a list of all members, requests for admission and work evidence of the Polkadot Tooling Collective as defined by its constitution.
The files are managed by the collective-cli to keep all files neatly sorted and in a machine-readable format. This allows for auditability and better accountability of past decisions.

This repo consists of three main folders as configured by its collective.yaml file:

• member: All members of the collective.
• join_request: All accepted requests for admission.
• work_evidence: Proof of done work.

All the structural decisions here are made in line with the guidelines of the super-collective to act as Proof-of-Concept for it.

NOTE At the current time we only accept accomplished developers. Please refrain from applying if you did not contribute to the mission of PoToC in the past.

To join PoToc, please fork this repository and create a Request for Admission, following this format. You can also use the CLI to create the file. In either case, please read the constitution and acknowledge the mission of PoToC.

Then please open a Merge Request to this repository to add your request file. It should be in the join_request folder. See the application from Nikos as example. Once that is merged, you are a member of PoToC! An entry in the member folder will be created for you to reflect this.

To give you an idea of what it could look like, here is an example of a request for admission. Sure there should be a bit more content, but you get the idea.

PoToC promises to the Polkadot Tokenholders to regularly post evidence of its past work. This is done in a machine readable format following this yaml schema. Again, it is possible to create, check and render these files. Please refer to the collective-cli repo for more info.
