Discussing [Developer Portal](http://tutorials.cosmos.network/) & [IDA](http://interchainacademy.cosmos.network/),
in the short term & medium-long term

- historical context
- tight coupling dev portal/ida
    - confusion as a result
    - no clear separation of concerns
        - entry point for resource retrievability
        - (guided) onboarding educational material
        - ...
- What is the vision for the developer portal?
  - Entry point for the Cosmos developer
  - Content... what? (CometBFT, IBC != Cosmos SDK)
  - Linking to external content... what?
  - Who maintains the platform?
  - Who creates content?
  - Who maintains content?
- What is the vision for the Academy?
  - How active do we want the education partner to be involved?
  - How do we position IDA in bigger Cosmos education landscape?
  - How proactive do we want to be to offer graduates support post-graduation?
  - Content creation/maintenance and relationship to dev portal content
- Maria update B9:
    - 2022: problem with B9 contributing content, not being product experts
    - ideally technical documentation comes from product teams
    - 2023: content creation is team's concern (idea)
    - 1 cohort confirmed, possible to have more
    - goal of academy was previously unclear
    - course designed as if it were a paid course, but it's ICF funding
    - investigating new models towards sustainability
- Dev portal & technical documentation audiences?
- Who is Dev Portal customer?
    - MD? Devrel lead?
- The ultimate goals and business model for the Acadmey long terms remains a point of active investigation
