Another thing that needs to be done is to improve on the post discoverability mechanism on Hive.
This is the biggest problem of hive to me. There are people with wonderful content that are not being discovered due to this problem.
I talked to a new user @the-polymath about hive and told him to publish one chapter of his new book on hive. The post is good but no reward.
How do you convince a person to join #hive without talkong about reward?
