At an ecosystem level, what metrics would you expect hackathons to collect?

Some fft top of mind things for me (don’t even know how easy this is to track):

- $ invested in hackathon projects
- # jobs created 
- # companies started 
- ETH burned
- people connected 

Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts too

DevRel @citrea, building a ZK Rollup on Bitcoin - opinions very much my own

This would indeed be great if technically feasible. Any suggestions how to execute?

I check every submission with their Github history + some code search

Usually it becomes obvious in a minute

My framework is

- eliminate below average ones quickly (generally ~50%)
- check each demo website to see if there's a mismatch of texts or too much work, around 10% gets the initial flag of being recycled
- check the rest and give points (hard part)
- check the suspicious ones carefully
- double check the winners

Fair, thanks! There should be a way to automate partially at least. Last year alone we’ve had probably 3000+ project submissions.
