> How should we map the amount of energy contributed to a project?
There are many answers to that question and each group should be able to define its own answer. However this answer needs to be encoded.
# Remix components
We can make a start with some basic elements. These elemenst may sometimes suffice for the social accounting needs of your group, or they may be ingredients of more sophisticated metrics.
# Time
We can use a currency, or otherwise measure the amount fo time-as-energy invested into a task. We use Voz for this task in the creative industries. If we wish we can add layers of complexity and use mutual credit in order to account for different skill levels.
# Content
We can count the content. We know the number of wiki-pages created by an author in a given context. We can also distinguish between copied or forked content and newly authored content, and derive simple metrics with regard to the amount of original content created by an author.
# Generative AI In the age of generative AI, it is increasingly easy to generate new content without much intellectual investment. We wish to encourage this behaviour, but also to govern it.
When an author publishes his work, we can seek to establish that they have taken the time to understand and then agree with it. This is at the core of the activity of a Social Editorial, where we imagine being helped in this regard through the application of Ceremony.
# Replication This is an open space with which to design and then provide tools to encode these metrics in a way in which they can be replicated and used by other groups.
