1) Most standards don't need to be found by most devs because they don't use them. Nobody uses all of the NIPs, either, after all, and that effect is about to go parabolic. I think everyone just needs to sort of give up on spec management.

2) It's not impossible to find them. There is a list in the wiki for events or you can simply use elasticsearch on nos.today. Or just #asknostr. Make a DVM spec discovery tool.

3) You can see the events popping up on relays and just search for the ones that seems stick around for a while and add them to the list yourself. This is dynamic discovery and someone already built it.

4) I don't need an event to announce the event that I'm publishing on relays and writing about in the wiki and in articles and discussing in communities. That's the same event being announced like 50 times and would encourage people to reserve NUD numbers that they don't end up using, or having NUD numbers assigned to unpopular events, like we have with the NIPS. This creates an ID "honeypot".

5) We don't need the "NUD". We have our own prefix. It's obvious that it is a Nostr spec, if it deals with Nostr and is a spec.

6) Implementations should lead. Marketing is proof of work. The best implementation will get the most attention and their spec will float to the top of the wiki or dominate the timeline for the people interested in that topic, and become the de facto standard.

7) We publish our specs on the wiki or other long-form articles, give the event a searcheable identifier, and then we implement it and talk about it all on Nostr. That gives everyone enough opportunity to find it, who is genuinely interested.

Apparently, but this is the first time I've heard about NKBIPs. The least you could have done is mention it on the github repository.

We're directionally aligned here, I just really don't understand the hostility toward the existing forum for talking about nostr.

Why should we go back there?

We are trying to move all of our interactions to Nostr, not away from it. We are putting our code and our documentation where our ♥️ is.

If you decide you want to change a venue in real life, you don't just show up at the new one and expect everyone to be there.

Y'all built the venue. I assumed that you would all be arriving, eventually.

This topic, i don't know if I'd be too comfortable talking about 😅

Yeah, it's ehspicy. I was looking at your profile to find out more about you, but didn't really find anything. Do you have a project you work on I could read about?
