NO decision Deposit in place. Also question the Dorahacks team... I think they received funding previously to develop DAO tools and i think they did not deliver anything... i can be corrected on this, not 100% sure of it.

It's not clear whether the need for this app has been validated by potential users. Have there been any user interviews or groups that have expressed shortcomings from other solutions that would see a benefit from switching to this?

Good idea, and it doesn't have to be limited to Kusam/Polkadot. But smaller ask first for a PoC please.

Nay for now, the budget is too high for this kind of usecase. Also the decision deposit was not placed yet.

I don't think it's a high priority for polkadot/kusama.

Personally, I don't think this is a problem that requires $123,000 to solve. I think there are other things to focus on.

At the moment, this idea could be helpful - but execution seems misaligned. As event producers as well, we see there being a need for better organizational structures for Polkadot events outside of professional teams like {bash}. However, this seems like its being designed by a team that hasn't professionally produced events that hold true value. Nay for now.
