In spirit of Curie's transparency, we wish to use this weekly section as an ongoing development blog on this community project to communicate our progress on top of the many casual exchanges happening in channel #curie.
For those new to Curie, please follow 
Hive account@curie, and join us in #curie on Steemit.chat.
Follow Hive account@curie's votes to support the authors. Please consider following our trail and voting for curated authors. If you are a Streemian or SteemAuto user, Hive account@curie is an available trail to follow.
Project Update
We would like to announce the removal of the curation reputation cap and will expand to support all authors with undiscovered and exceptional content. While previously reserved only for newcomers under reputation ~52, Curie is now opening up to discovering exceptional content regardless of account status. With that in mind, we have revised Curie's description metadata to reflect this update.

Curators
The Top Curators list will dynamically change every other week depending on performance. Anybody will be able to rise up the ranks with consistent, quality curation. Inconsistent, low-quality curation will result in dropping out of Top curators list(or regular curation, if under-performance continues). Exceptional long-term top curators transition to direct curation.
This week, we have upvoted 96 posts submitted by curators in http://curiesteem.com, with 960 STEEM to be paid out to curators.
