It serves as a catalog for: > > - Research and technical reports, > - Educational materials such as tutorials, > - Software, represented by our GitHub codebase and its releases, > - Other relevant artefacts aiding idea communication. > > Covering diverse topics including compilers, cryptography, distributed > systems, among others, the repository primarily features articles written > by Anoma researchers, but external contributions are welcome. > > ## The Rationale Behind ART > > The ART repository centralises our written work often overlooked in Slack > messages, blog posts, HackMD notes, and outdated PDF drafts. Crucially, it > facilitates peer review, ensuring each report undergoes scrutiny by at > least one person other than the author. This not only improves the quality > of work but also fosters consensus on content. > > Following extensive discussion, we’re launching the repository and seeking > volunteers to help curate it through reviewing submitted reports and > software. Ideally, each report should be reviewed by two people - the > editor and someone familiar with the topic. Currently, I’m handling reports > related to the Juvix project and need assistance with areas: > > - Cryptography > - Distributed systems > - Protocol design > - Compilers > > ## Benefits of the ART Repository > > The ART repository offers several immediate benefits: > > - Centralisation of our written work. > - DOI assignment for our reports and software. > - Versioning of our reports and software. > - Enhanced public access and discoverability of our work. > - Statistics on our work, including downloads and citations. > > Bonus: each record can also be referred to as **ARTX** , where X represents > the record’s number is X, so we just need to use [https://zenodo.org/record/X](https://zenodo.org/record/X) . > > ## Hosting of the Repository > > The ART repository is hosted on [Zenodo](https://zenodo.org/), a general-purpose repository > platform that aligns with our goal to catalog not just papers but all types of artefacts. However, our primary focus, at least in the medium term, is on reports and papers. Here are the useful links: > > - [Community Collection](https://zenodo.org/communities/anoma-research/) > - [Submit a New Record](https://zenodo.org/deposit/new?c=anoma-research) > - [Curation URL](https://zenodo.org/communities/anoma-research/curate/) > - [Harvesting URL](https://zenodo.org/oai2d?verb=ListRecords&set=user-anoma-research&metadataPrefix=oai_dc) > > ## Guidelines for Contribution > > We encourage everyone to contribute to the ART repository. If you wish to > contribute or become a co-editor, please contact me directly. For now, the > contribution process is simple: send me a direct message on Slack. > > A potential workflow could be the following: > > # ART Workflow proposal > > 1. **Collective Brainstorming (Optional):** > Recurring short slots for lightning talks on research ideas for picking the collective brain. > > 2. **Initiating Forum Discussion (Optional):** Authors initiate a forum > discussion to gather feedback and suggestions from peers and experts. > > 3. **Draft Creation and Editor Consultation:** Once a topic is selected or > the forum discussion is deemed mature, authors begin drafting the > manuscript. Editors are contacted at this stage for an assigned Overleaf > project for future indexing. > > 4. **Reviewer Selection, Review Phase, and Refinement:** After finalising > the draft, a suitable reviewer is sought. Editors may suggest potential > reviewers. The chosen reviewer and editor provide feedback on content and > formatting via Overleaf. > > 5. **Review Iteration and Refinement:** Upon resolving all comments and > suggestions on Overleaf, authors and editors agree on indexing and > publication. Once the document meets indexing criteria, it’s submitted > for indexing on Zenodo ART, thus becoming an official publication. > > Feel free to modify this workflow here: [https://hackmd.io/@heliax/ByPOz4F32](https://hackmd.io/@heliax/ByPOz4F32) > > ## Guidelines for Authors > > We utilise LaTeX for report writing and Overleaf for collaborative editing. > The ART-template is available at: > > - [GitHub - anoma/art-template: Anoma Research Topics Template](https://github.com/anoma/art-template) > > To gain access to an assigned Overleaf project, please contact me directly.

I think it is a great idea! I’ve got a couple of questions about the process: > - Upon maturation of the discussion, a meeting is scheduled to deliberate > on the topic, outline, and structure. 1. A meeting with whom? Someone who is helping with curating or the co-authors? 2. The workflow also doesn’t explicitly mention the process of writing a report. Do I understand correctly that it is assumed to happen between steps 2 and 3? 3. It also makes sense to me that author(s) might prefer to prepare a draft after step 1, and sort of merge steps 2 and 3 - lowers entry barriers for potential authors. Do you think this is possible/desirable/undesirable?
