Over the past six months, the ARK Team has increased our communication with users and developers by introducing the ARK Developer AMAs and ARK Developer Roundtable meetings. These enable all community members to ask questions and provide feedback to project leads as well as discuss the future development of the ARK Ecosystem. ARK Answers is a user-friendly hub designed to host AMA transcripts, Developer Roundtable meetings, and more.

Ask-Me-Anythings (AMAs)

ARK is committed to deepening the connection between team members and community members within the ARK Ecosystem. Consistent topic-specific AMAs are a great step towards that goal. The questions and feedback directed to our project leads have been absolutely invaluable and we would like to thank each person who takes the time to participate in the AMA events to help shape the future development of our projects. The AMA schedule is promoted on ARK Events and on our Twitter at Twitter.ARK.io. They are then hosted live on our Slack at Slack.ARK.io.

With the recent launch of the Powered By ARK Program, bridgechains aspiring to join now have the opportunity to participate in an AMA with the ARK community. As more participating projects join the program, you will be able to get up close and personal with all types of projects using the helpful tools ARK provides.

All AMA transcripts that were previously hosted on Reddit have now been migrated to ARK Answers. All future AMAs will be posted to ARK Answers immediately after the event, so be sure to bookmark the link below and follow us on Twitter.

ARK Developer Roundtables

The ARK Developer Roundtable series has been a truly eye-opening experience for the ARK Team as we engage with the ARK developer community and discuss ARK software development, Tier 0 projects, and AIPs coming from the community. Anyone can join the live video conference monthly and ask questions to community developers or the host, ARK CTO Kristjan Košič. The meeting takes place on the last Thursday of each month. We’d like to give a big thank you to everyone who has joined us on this journey and invite you to attend the next meeting!

All previous ARK Developer Roundtable videos can be located on ARK Answers, complete with the agenda, timestamps of discussion topics, and presentation slides.

What’s next for ARK Answers?

Planning for future improvements to ARK Answers is well underway with a new section called ARK Questions, bringing more efficiency and convenience to community members looking for answers to all types of ARK related questions. This will go far beyond a simple FAQ and become a valuable resource for both users and developers, complete with full search capabilities. No question is too big or too small and you’ll be able to submit questions any time for inclusion in the repository!

Read our new whitepaper, follow us on social media ( Twitter|Facebook|Reddit ), join our community ( Slack | Discord ) and stay tuned to our blog on Medium and on Steemit.
