I was just mulling through some ideas in my head about NEM. Nothing really vastly important, just things to consider:
Openness and transparency are both key factors in developing and maintaining trust with current users and new users alike. Therefore a page on the NEM website listing all the developers and their roles, along with their contact details and perhaps (although not vital, for privacy reasons) a picture too.
Now, a lot of you are aware of the recent alt-coin boom, along with the strange KLONE project which plans to clone NEM as soon as NEM's source is released. For this reason, I think it may be wise to withhold releasing the source code for a month or two after release. If this is going to be the case then it is of high importance that (a) it's made completely obvious why the source is being withheld, and (b) when it will be released (perhaps with a big countdown on the website?). If both of these points are followed, then no on can accuse NEM of shady practice.
In order to explain NEM to newbies, a host of media must be availble to them: Simplistic videos (<3 minutes, animation, easy to follow etc.), infographics favourably comparing NEM to BTC, professionally made video/text tutorials for installing and using the NEM client etc.
I've been thinking along the same lines lately, especially with no.2 on that list. The longer NEM has to anchor itself in the crypto world as the ONLY PoI coin, establishing itself as the leader in the field, the better.

Re: [NEM] NEM -New Economy Movement - No Envy Movement - Updates+Discussion thread
Same thing here, the promotion specified that everyone put the logo in the post. For promotional purpose, your logo is supposed to be seen by everyone looking at the thread. I never followed outbound link in the thread and I did make some efforts to tell people that they need to put the logo/ memes/ branding resources in the post.
i dont want to sound ungrateful but thats totally unfair
i am sure the condition was to just make a logo, not to post it VISIBLY in the thread..... it was right there! like the other guy said, u should have made it much clearer !!
I know, it's stupid... I was genuinely very excited to be a part of NEM and now it's just not going to happen for some insanely stupid reason. sigh. You could have at least told us for the month or so our posts were up there... I'm pretty sure my name even had a 'y' next to it for ages until a couple of days ago, which means you went out of your way to take my name off the list once you found out.
I am imploring anyone to allow me to have a the stake.
I added a comment to the stakeholder list asking what's up. I can't tell you myself because I wasn't involved back then.
Well in this case, the promotion specified that everyone put the logo in the post. For promotional purpose, your logo is supposed to be seen by everyone looking at the thread.
So I don't get a stake because I linked it to Imgur, instead of posting it in the thread? That seems like a very trivial thing to refuse a stake for... you really didn't make it clear enough that it needed to be posted in the actual post. All your post said was to make a logo, which I did! I'm just annoyed I can't be a part of NEM now because of such a tiny thing. I spent my time and effort thinking about and making the logo.
Is there any way I can persuade you otherwise? I don't want to start a fight, I just really want to be a part of this.
