SourceCred Gitcoin Integration Milestone 1

Purpose

• Implement a plugin within the main SourceCred repository that will build a graph from the Gitcoin community allowing us to gage the relative value of community member contributions
• Implement a management command which can be run from the Gitcoin repository (manually & through Docker) which yields Cred scores generated from the Gitcoin database

Overview

SourceCred is an open-source project which applies a modified version of PageRank onto a community contribution graph. Nodes in the graph are meant to be contributors as well as contributions which add value to the relevant community. These nodes are linked together via bi-directional edges which allow for the flow of "Cred" (generated by nodes).

Scope:

We will use a subset of the Gitcoin application to generate the SourceCred graph, the Gitcoin Town Square is a reasonably isolated place to start and will provide a basis for Milestone 2 going forward. Users, Posts & Comments will initially be parsed into nodes with the following relational edges:
