@swamicoder I agree with you. This is our community and we should be sharing our ideas and contribute to maximize the knowledge building. I am fortunate to have been a small part of journey of this editorial and I remember that it all started with this question
https://discuss.codechef.com/questions/91822/your-logic-for-chef-and-triangles
Now I would like to say one thing. My IAS research topic was Crowdsourced Knowledge Building: Finding Ideal Skillset distribution for maximal knowledge building. I found a mathematical model for the same and thus I would just give a glimpse of the dynamics of knowledge building in crowd sourced environment like StackOverflow, Wikipedia, Quora or our CodeChef discuss community. I will stick to CodeChef discuss community for explanation.
Lets frame base for our understanding. KBS is knowledge building system (CodeChef discuss community) in this case. KU stands for Knowledge Unit. For Q-A community KU is question,answer or vote. Now most important concept in crowdsourced knowledge building is triggering and internal knowledge.
Internal knowledge as the name suggests refers to the knowledge which you possess which is quite small and is constant for isolated system. Major component of knowledge building is Triggered knowledge .
I will give a simple example to simplify things. Suppose I ask you the names of states of India and you say 16 names rapidly, this is your internal knowledge. But then you get stucked and then I give you a hint of say Haryana and you immediately get names of its neighbouring states like Punjab, Uttarakhand etc. This is triggered knowledge. Had I not prompted Haryana, you might not have recalled these names. This is called Triggered knowledge (Recollected Triggered Knowledge).
Triggering is like throwing apples to each other. Best thing is that one KU triggers other KU by some factor which is called triggering factor. Thus, simplifying the stuffs, had the above question not been asked, then we might not have answered and thus our approach might not have come into notice. Also had this question not been asked, some of us might have still been struggling to tackle this problem. Thus, this question triggered some of us and we answered the question, thus adding new KU(answers or unique approaches to the problem) to the KBS which was possible only due to triggering.
Thus, on the whole, I want to say that we should be sharing our approaches and discussing rather than complaining for editorials because this will trigger some of us and we will get some KU in our KBS which would never have come in the community.
I know this might be hectic for most of you and there are various terms like Newton hypothesis, Ortega hypothesis, Internalization, Externalization etc. But @swamicoder your idea has triggered me to apply skillset model for CodeChef discuss community to maximize knowledge building of this community. I framed my model for StackOverflow and Wikipedia but this can be applied here as well.
Please note that I am neither publicizing my research nor my approach to this problem
In case anyone did not get idea of triggering or if anyone wants to explore more they can drop a comment.
And @vijju123 kudos to you bro again for an awesome editorial and keep up the good job.
Thanks
