Idea Marketplace
The idea marketplace is a place to articulate, debate & eventually form consensus around different visions of what Gitcoin's endgame is.
Different proposals will serve the discussion.
- Anyone can submit a proposal, and in doing so will stimulate disussion about strategy, roadmap, or vision.
- The accepted proposals have been ratified by governance, and thereby have legitimacy to actually be followed.
How does a proposal become an accepted proposal?
The accepted proposals will have gone through the CSDO decision process (opens in a new tab) which is listed on the CSDO notion page (opens in a new tab).
Building for a plurality of proposals
Ideally there will be a rich ecosystem of divergent proposals that will build upon one another, exchange ideas, and then converge towards a consensus.
Perhaps if we are super committed to evolving our strategy together, then multiple proposals will start to merge as people share ideas with each other.
---------------------------------------------------- proposal A
\
\ idea exchange
\
---------------------------------------------------- proposal B
through this process, it will be useful to illuminate where there is profound disagreement in the path forward.
---------------------------------------------------- proposal A
x
x disagreement
x
---------------------------------------------------- proposal B
As consensus emerges, the "Accepted Proposals" resource will grow.
proposal A1
/ \
proposal A -> discussion & debate \
/ \ CSDO approves merge back to consensus proposal
/ \
---------------------------------------------------- accepted proposal
but sometimes a proposal will be created that does not get a reaction or get merged into the consensus proposal.
proposal B -> discussion & debate -> no merge
/
/
---------------------------------------------------- accepted proposal
