Project 1: The Website a project - Handoff
Re-visit from last week
Forum post: https://forum.bankless.community/t/bdao-website-project-handoff/4410
Speaker: Mantis Clone
Ask: 600,000 + $360 reimbursement to 0xJustice for precious hosting fees
Previously discussed
- Last funding 7/12/22 150,000 BANK (50% of Season 4 total of 300,000)
- Did not submit budget proposals for Season 5
- Possibly Public Goods “Community Owned and operated” This is our banklessDAO website
- Hosting: asking for $360.00 previously paid hosting fees
- Per Icedcool: using Vercel
Questions
- Could hosting be funded by the DAO and not by a contributor?
- Answer
- Is this a project at all or rather infrastructure to be handled by a department?
- Is it necessary to develop and maintain ones own website, or would a customised third party solution not be sufficient in this climate? (expenses, man power, value for money)
Comments
- Looking in the discord channel, increased contributors and progress being made
Season 7 will include: should this be a project or a Dept in proposal
