Proposal description:
Pilot Dework to:
a) Prioritize development and manage bounties for Giveth and related projects.
b) Help WG stewards to manage bounties and attract builders and makers.
c) Incentivize community engagement.
Proposal Rationale
Currently, it’s not clear what features or related projects the community wants for Giveth and other builders to develop. Nor is it easy to start contributing by picking up defined tasks.
https://dework.xyz/ is a platform to “manage your tasks and bounties in one place. Get contributor applicants, sync with Discord, boost the reputation of contributors, and pay with your own DAO’s tokens.”
Dework is a great tool being used by 1hive, Shapeshift, Aragon Network and other DAOs for Bounty management and engaging with builders, makers and supporters.
The Dapp functionalities are very interesting including:
-
A bounties dashboard with payments in DAO and other tokens (including Gnosis network). Payments easily managed by managers and applications to tasks can be open, chosen by managers or applied through discord roles.
-
Upvote community suggestions dashboard
-
Integration to Github to create Dework tasks from Github issues and pull requests to tasks
-
Integration to Discord to: Create a thread when a task is assigned with the comments, send message when task is created, Post status board with open tasks, post a status board with all community suggestions.
Proposed initial use cases:
a) Prioritize development and manage bounties for Giveth and related projects.
Collect ideas and suggestions in the Community suggestions dashboard, upvote and pass them to the backlog or to-do list once they’ve been supported.
Once on the backlog or to-do list, it’s rather easy to manage bounties. Furthermore, by having community suggestions and bounties management in one platform, builders can check out community suggestions and get inspired even before passing them to the bounties dashboard.
It’s not token-weighted as Tokenlog unfortunately, so the tradeoff would be less utility for the GIV token.
b) Make contributions to Giveth and related projects frictionless.
@MoeNick and I agree that migrating to Dework doesn’t feel like the right move ATM. But new issues and ideas could be connected to attract builders to contribute to Giveth.
The bounties dashboard is very easy to use and customizable. WG stewards can create bounties, use GIV and other DAO tokens to pay in a streamlined process, choose application procedures (including discord roles) and integrate to Discord to follow up easily and promote open bounties.
c) Incentivize community engagement.
@WhyldWanderer had a couple of amazing ideas of how we can incentivize community engagement:
For example, we could offer bounties in gLove for Swag to our community.
