Description

https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1578

Project "Fund the World" is a proposal to integrate a funding application into the Polkadot ecosystem. The goal is to create a registry of Polkadot projects seeking support, increase their visibility, and drive ecosystem growth. The team behind the project includes Frank Dierolf, a senior Polkadot developer, Trevor Parks, a founder focused on Web3 applications, and Watson Lewis-Rodriguez, a cross-chain developer. The project has a 2-month timeline with objectives such as creating a comprehensive directory, developing customized components, building a metadata enhancing system, and connecting donors and job seekers with projects. Expected outcomes include a comprehensive registry, enhanced visibility, developer onboarding, and ecosystem partnerships.

Aye

YES, we do need this, hope the PBA alumni is integrated into this platform as possible developers for projects, also, VCs will also have a good interface as donors do, to the solution, would be great if anonymity of some components are integrated in the interface.

Abstain

Not sure if the current solutions aren't good enough, we'd better abstain with our vote. Might reconsider later after getting some answers from the team.

Nay

I don't think this new registrar of projects will bring extra value.

I'm not so sure about the usefulness of a project like this.

Nay

I'd like to encourage this effort, but I believe for this to be successful the effort should involve more than a technical integration, given there are alternatives (e.g. directories of applications in talisman/subwallet/nova/various websites). I would like to see some aspect of the proposal that shows existing traction, as well as an indication that this site has a growth strategy so that it can bring traffic to view polkadot projects that are onboarded.

We will abstain as we are also working on something somewhat similar.

Nay

Without a website that is browsable without a forced signup+login, I don't see how this will generate much adoption tbh. I also believe there are other similar project/job boards that are already being worked on, in addition to a (hopefully) revamped .com to a new HUB experience sooner or later, which would most likely include the concept of "Projects" people can follow/apply for etc... so it is unclear how valuable of a tool this will be down the road. That said, I'm open minded to reconsider my stance if the team wants to pitch a demo (design mockups etc), to see what the UI/UX will look like.
