This looks great. If you need help on the editing or (professional) writing side do let me know. I'm already writing a long series on the history of Darkcoin thus far and think my core skills here might be in creating material that spreads beyond the tech details. It is imperative that the innovations can be explained in a handful of lines which should, in turn, be repeated on any media appearances.

Looking for a curator of the Darkcoin Collection on Coin Academy to add information on Darkcoin.

Coin Academy is free for educational purposes. If you would like to help write for Darkcoin, submit a contribution http://coinacademy.co/contributor-submission/
"What does it cost to use Coin Academy?
Nothing. Zero. Zip. Zilch. It’s all free, all the time. We hope to keep it that way, but we would very much appreciate it if you would consider a donation to help us cover our overhead."
 
I already posted this, but the communityh had been growing so kindly allow me to repeat my 2 cents, tweaked just a bit:

Visibility is everything, so say:

- TanteStefana and / or David (a new writer) start from the start (articles about Darkcoin origins, DarkSend, "How to... " buy / trade / invest;
- fernando or someone good with this creates a simple animation video, explaining the same in a more visual way;
- another video, more sophisticated may be in place as well;
- get transcripts for these videos; https://www.speechpad.com/ $1.00 for a minute and post it in a blog;
- SYNDICATE all content (Twitter, FB, blog) and use all RSS feeds. Point in case, Review Outlaw has a video on mining Darkcoin here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNpEmo3y0VQ so his channel is @ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOvN3fb1NyriX4SVgVj02SA so his RSS feed is @
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/reviewoutlaw/uploads

Ping all that to all RSS syndication services. Transcripts as well. Tweet them;

- See could Twitter / FB API alow syndicating this Forum posts, or at least, the developer's updates;
- Figure out how to get Evan and Ape to be guests on Max Keiser show (just ask him - PRIVACY is the key);
- if not, interview him for Darkcoins own YT channel.

Syndicate;

- "anarchy is to act like you're already free" so get in touch with David Graeber, an anarchist and a professor, but also the author of Debt: The First Five Thousand Years so he knows about money and he would have something to say about cryptocurrency through historical, sociological, philosophical angle;
- Syndicate;
- try to do the same with Reggie Middleton of boombustblog - he's big on crypto and is working on his own exchange;
- Syndicate;
- Someone else, write a "freedom essay" (Darkcoin Manifesto) on why is crypto so important? Why Darkcoin. Difference in between anonymity and privacy issue. We're all enslaved by The Financial Crime Cartel and its shenanigans (crimes) and this could be the first real movement in human history that would liberate us from the institutionalized chains of death, destruction and debt, their modus operanda.

WEEKLY Q&A with Evan (and Ape and some other developer) - perhaps as a LIVE CHAT was the best idea thus far - sorry, but for a live in me at the moment I can't recall whose idea it was - so that could be an hour or so live transmissions with the community, investors, journalists, bloggers etc, participating (or just a host, one of the guys here, or from the Foundation) that would boost both the visibility and interest.

Bottom line. Spread the word as much as you can. And try to also focus on "influencers" like Max, David, Reggie...

Very nice post !!
Great ideas in there !!
Some of the things (Video and such) are already in the making !!

I will update the List and integrate this here !!
Lets get on it, and keep it coming please !
 
NEW LIST (#7)
10th Sep

In work:
1.
New website (.io)is to be completed with all information updated.
- i am in contact with (verteo and others) them and they are working on it, looks all great and should be ready in time.
- We still need a LINUX Wallet Installation Guide !!!
-
Want to get involved, check the Thread
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/darkcoin-io-website-overhaul.1874/

3. New Wallets out and running solid
- DRKLord is pretty sick and maybe even in hospital as Evan stated yesterday ! (hope he will be ok and gets better soon)
eduffield, Today at 1:03 AM
“I haven't heard for DRKLord in awhile, however I heard he's really ill. I'll reach out to him and made sure he's OK.”
- To get the full wallet version (as it was posted some months ago), we need a QT Developer! (That was DRKLord)
- The rest of the team is working hard on technical parts which are needed anyway (QT or not) so ether or (pretty or not) the wallet will be up and running ! which is great news !
- QT/ C++ Developer, if anybody out there is capable of QT/C++ Developing please contact vertoe or Minotaur
- The Dev Team (i am in touch with a couple separate guys and girls) are trying to sort this out (QT/C++) ether in-house or we might have to outsource/ more details coming soon !
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/enhanced-darkcoin-wallet-ui.1705/

4. Darkcoin Foundation with mission statement ready to go.
- fernando (as expected) is on top of things:
“We are doing all the paperwork for the incorporation of the foundation and preparing the internals. We'll have the bylaws and mission statement very soon.”
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/darkcoin-foundation.2198/#post-18444

6. Kristov Atlas review and any findings re-mediated and verified by Kristov
(he supposedly is in touch with Evan direct))
- last update was today (7th Sep)
K Atlas comment's on "paper analyzing DarkSend+'s design"….>
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/k-atlas-comments-on-paper-analyzing-darksend-s-design.2295/

7. Official documentation explaining how to use darksend+ in a proper PDF and on new website.
- The new webpage will have a whole section of how to / what / where, it is still under development and content has to be written.
-TanteStefana already gave us permission to use her great Darksend tutorial in the new website. We need to do some updating and editing (the wallet has changed a bit in the last couple versions), but it will be there.” from fernando
- @David (new writer) is in touch with @verteo
-@pbleak
is writing a piece of the beginnings of DRK, hopefully he will a couple others after ...>
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/darkcoin-io-website-overhaul.1874/

To do:
2. Update EVERYTHING !

(double check all pages drktalk, btctalk, Wiki,.... that really all the newest versions and updates are in place) for now RC4 .... RC5 we worry about when it comes
- tungfa will look into this as I have a bunch of log in's already
- started with the some (FB and such … and am making progress further)

5. All bugs resolved and testing community is in sync to verify that everyone is happy. WE NEED A PERIOD OF NO CHANGES/UPDATES AND STABILITY IN TESTNET & or Pilot mainnet users before releasing to the general public. (fingers crossed)
- RC5 is on Testnet, please support !!
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/get-back-on-testnet.2240/#post-18841

8. Official press release statements ready for PRWeb, Wired, Coindesk etc.
This is something we should hear about from the Dev Team, what/when there thoughts are on this !!
- I checked in with Fernando what he thinks, and sure we are a bit ahead of ourself here. Nothing to write or report yet as RC5 is still in development stage. He will keep me posted when could be a good time to start writing something up, and then we send a writer over there.

9. Give prior warning and enough time for all Pools / MN Operators to update.
- There is a pool police in place yidakee and splawik21 !
They got the word from us if they need any help. They are still ‘hunting’ polls regarding RC3-4, so this might not be as easy as it sounds to convert (by warning) pool sot RC5 (warning or not)


Important (but anytime):

10.Open Bazaar Integration
As i mentioned in an earlier post (nobody replied) i believe a DRK integration on Open Bazaar is super important !!!
As we need actual Merchants adoption, OB would be the perfect starting point (and test net for us).
OB is in Beta 1. (please join the test net) and open source. Follow the thread bellow to check it out or give a helping hand to the crew over there !!
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/open-bazaar-integration.2045/
here some background for OB
http://www.wired.com/2014/08/openbazaar-not-for-drugs/

11.Visibility is everything, so say:
- TanteStefana and / or David (a new writer) start from the start (articles about Darkcoin origins, DarkSend, "How to... " buy / trade / invest; (good point, this might bbs part of the new webpage already/ gotta check in with them)
- fernando or someone good with this creates a simple animation video, explaining the same in a more visual way;
- another video, more sophisticated may be in place as well;
- get transcripts for these videos; https://www.speechpad.com/ $1.00 for a minute and post it in a blog;
- SYNDICATE all content (Twitter, FB, blog) and use all RSS feeds. Point in case, Review Outlaw has a video on mining Darkcoin here:

https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/reviewoutlaw/uploads
There was talk about making a new video/or different versions, Icebucket was on it, we gotta follow up with this thread:
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/darkcoin-video.333/page-6#post-18506

12. Someone else, write a "freedom essay" (Darkcoin Manifesto) on why is crypto so important? Why Darkcoin. Difference in between anonymity and privacy issue. We're all enslaved by The Financial Crime Cartel and its shenanigans (crimes) and this could be the first real movement in human history that would liberate us from the institutionalized chains of death, destruction and debt, their modus operanda.
I think this is a very good point and would be great to have for DRK and the Community !!! not easy to write, as there will be many different opinions, but somebody could get on this !!!??

After RC 5 (there are some great ideas coming here/ we probably have to check with Dev Team what they think of this !!)

13. Figure out how to get Evan and Ape to be guests on Max Keiser show (just ask him - PRIVACY is the key);
- if not, interview him for Darkcoins own YT channel.
Definitely !! Max Keiser is great (i think) , he bought DRK's himself and would be definitely up for that !!

14.
WEEKLY Q&A with Evan
(and Ape and some other developer) - perhaps as a LIVE CHAT was the best idea thus far - sorry, but for a live in me at the moment I can't recall whose idea it was - so that could be an hour or so live transmissions with the community, investors, journalists, bloggers etc, participating (or just a host, one of the guys here, or from the Foundation) that would boost both the visibility and interest.

We still need:
- QT/C++ Developer
- We still need a LINUX Wallet Installation Guide !!! (Writer)


Tx
Other Tips for this list,
please keep em coming !! …..>>
 
I believe the release date (22nd) of RC 5 just put this Thread out of business !
Hopefully a lot of things will be done by or shortly after RC 5
Fingers crossed !

Tx for the support !
 
We still need:
- QT/C++ Developer
- We still need a LINUX Wallet Installation Guide !!! (Writer)

I do QT but not C++, sorry.

And maybe I'm missing something but why would anyone need a linux wallet installation guide beyond, "Download, make executable, run... ?"
