Increase Community Contribution
ICON benefits greatly from regular contributions since it is an open-source project. Their team is working on strategies to increase the number of content creators, community developers, and builders.
Currently, they are also seeking a contributor to create a CPS proposal for a website similar to the Cardano Development Update Tracker.
Organize State of Contributions to ICON
For tracking the state of the ICON project, they have launched a new repository on GitHub. They plan to populate this repository with information about collaboration structure, guidelines, code conformance standards, and possible working group structures over the next few weeks.

Conclusion
In the coming months, we look forward to the Technical Community Updates having a positive impact and increasing transparency. The ICON Foundation’s Technical Lead, Eric Solomon, will be hosting an Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) in the ICON Discord on August 11 to discuss the future of community contribution. The time slot for the AMA is currently being finalized, so stay tuned for more details!
