Hey everyone, just read the thread so Iām late to the party! As Iām just getting started in really knowing Aragon my contribution will remain high level and maybe not technically sound.
My main feeling is that the Cooperative and the Bounty DAO should work closely together or even be a single app. This would be a great place for community members and contributors to meet, interact and grow.
As a community member, I have been learning about Aragon through different platforms: Aragon chat, forum, Github, Reddit, Twitter etcā¦ overall the breadth of knowledge and "contact surfaceā with the project is quite large. This works well for motivated people with long term goals but is less appealing to the average community member who may want to do a smaller more punctual contribution.
In this regard, the Cooperative+Bounty DAO app would be the go-to place for community members to get their hands dirty on concrete focused bounty tasks/votes/discussions.
In the short term, I think the Cooperative outlined by @lkngtn is a great start. In the medium term maybe it makes sense to build a dedicated Cooperative+bounty DAO app. On the app community members could access their personal dashboard which would include features: community chat, voting & surveys, open bounty proposals, ongoing proposals, list of active membersā¦
Here too I agree with these settings for launching the cooperative experiment quickly. For the longer term, however, shouldnāt it be easier to be āpartā of the community and get a āread accessā to the Cooperative? In this case, committees and membership approval mechanisms would be used only later, to grant additional rights to people that are already members of the cooperative.
Eventually, the Cooperative+Bounty DAO may have a role to play as a point of contact for community members and contributors. This would help increase involvement, contributions and participation in the networkās governance process.
Overall super excited to see an Aragon Cooperative soon and to help make it happen if needed!
