Ecosystem Overview

We can structure the overview by topic and by protocols. It is easier to write up overviews by protocol, but organizing information by topic will be more helpful when making design decisions and evaluating relevance.

Protocols:

The protocols directory contains summaries of existing projects. Anyone can add new files summarizing a project or subject area they find interesting. The lists below are of current projects, but there is also value in summarizing historical projects that are no longer in use.

Topics:

This is a suggested list of how we could organize by topic in the topics directory.

This section will be structured as comparisons between how protocols handle these core topics. Under each topic, we can address how existing protocols and projects have addressed it. Can evaluate pros and cons, as well as include concepts from projects not covered more in depth elsewhere.
