The Zcash Foundation is adopting a "Working Group Recognition" policy to foster and support such groups. Working groups recognized by the Foundation will be included in our website and will be included in periodic public updates about the Foundation's progress. + +Minimum Requirements for a Working Group +---------------------------------------- +Each working group needs a document (text or markdown file) with the following: +- A coordinator. The coordinators contact information should be included so potential volunteers can see a place to join up. +- A short mission statement describing the goals and purpose of the working group. +- Pointers to a public communication platform, such as a mailing-list, a forum, or a channel on chat.zcashcommunity.com. + +The coordinator is expected to give monthly updates on the working group's progress.
