Hi and welcome to Edgeryders :slight_smile:

Kei this is looking good. I would suggest two things. The first is some photos/ video footage if you have any (then we can feature it on the platform). The other thing I would do is post a personal introduction, describing what you do and how you came to be working on it. Why are you building this, where do you want it to go and what things are you trying to figure out/struggling with?

This gives everyone a nice point of entry beacue it signals that it is ok to approach you, and what they can start explorijng/contributing…

Thanks!

Sounds good. Would you suggest putting the media in the post, wiki or somewhere else?

In the group description

as well as in individual posts you see there is a group logo you can add? This is what pops up in the project page.

You can embed images or videos in the group description and individual posts. Wikis too if you like, but I think it makes sense to keep wikis text only,no?

Makes sense

Cool - will feed in more tomorrow!
