A prompt is a project proposed to the Open Climate Collabathon

Documentation: GitBook

The Collabathon GitBook acts as a general documentation and manual for all participants and partners. If you’ve been using a google doc to compile the prompt, you may still use it as long as you update the GitBook, which is what participants will see.

You can add yourself as a writer on GitBook, you will find the link to join and contribute in the ‘Welcome’ section on the side navigation. You can find general information about being a prompt host here.

Communication and coordination: Discord

The event has a specific Discord server to manage all communications (similar to Slack).

Sign up to Discord if you haven’t done so yet: https://discord.gg/8hkxB2

You will find that we created a specific channel for each one of the prompts. This is a channel for participants to contact you, ask questions and create a dynamic environment around each prompt. Find you channel on Discord and maybe give an intro of yourself for participants to eventually spot you.
