P-012 ACCEPTED: Project A / tedDAO.org

Voting period: 14 days

Categories:

Social Proposal
[:heavy_check_mark:] Request for Action
Constitution Amendment

Abstract:

This Project looks to enable the creation of tedDAO.org the centre of TED DAO documents, links and all useful information for the DAO. The proposed Project will be completed in 4 months & the further upkeep (see bottom) of this project will be provided by the SoG. This will also serve as a trial for a TED DAO Workgroup, the formation of a TED DAO Workgroup in the future as The DAO grows.

This project also includes the creation of Tezos Domains DAO twitter, along with custom graphics which will be still on-brand but visually different to Tezos Domains.

Rationale:

This Project should’ve been something that was done many months ago. The information that every DAO participant and newcomer should have access too all in one place, easily accessible and readable. The proposal will bring value, transparency and professionalism to this DAO. The DAO is a separate entity from Tezos Domains/Tezos Domains Foundation and should have its own space for everyone to explore.

This project is to promote and provide ease of access and clear information about the DAO. The team will collect all information relating to the DAO set out in the ‘details’ section and make this look on brand and presentable as tedDAO.org.

If nobody comes forward to help with the Content(Writer) role, the total funds will be merged to the Lead Role, the Lead can then either spend more time on the project to make sure this is complete, or sub-contract the work out if wishes to do so.
Having an additional role was to encourage community support whilst being subjectively paid to work on the project, this isn’t exactly needed and can be completed by the Lead Role.

No use of AI or any translate app will be accepted for this project.

The time-frame is an estimate, if this project is finished before the 4 month period ends, the Budget will still be as set out and should not diminish, the same goes if this takes longer than 4 months, the budget is only payable for the 4 months only.

TDF Rep has the right to withhold monthly payments if deliverables/monthly goals have not been reached. The funds should be released once the month goal has been reached.

Post-4 Month Updates:

After the completion of the project, the site will need someone to manage and pay for the site, originally, the SoG will be solely responsible for this and any future updates to the site. However, this can be changed in the future if the DAO wishes so, and in the case of any changes to the SoG role, the information(logins & email) of the site and controller of the domain name (tedDAO.org) will be transferred to the new SoG, same action will be set if the up-keep of this site was to be made into a role or voted to go to another roles responsibility. The ongoing cost for this would amount to 300 XTZ monthly. Thus would be included in SoG payments set out post-project completion.
This responsibility for the time being will include managing the TezosDomainsDAO twitter account which can be found here:‘(x.com)’. This may later be delegated to the Marketing manager under the CM team dependant on availability.

I think this is a great idea!

I am interested though in the infrastructure of the website. There’s no time, budget, or goals related to the actual creation of the site. This seems like something that should be carved out, no?

So the timeline is set out in timeline, albeit it’s a brief overview, the timeline is 4 months, without giving it much thought I would personally allocate most of my spare time to complete such project, it’s not exactly a massive project but I’ll be doing this in my spare time, I’ve provided contents of the website, the cost breakdowns for running this site after the 4 months has already been communicated with the core team.

The budget of creating the site is set out in the budget section. The budget includes all costings set out to the core team privately along with labour to create such site.

Goals are set out in the ‘goals’ section.

All you say is “creating the site” but where? What technologies? Wordpress? Shopify? Custom code?

I would be using custom html along with notion & super, I haven’t decided which platform I’d use as of yet but it’s not exactly something I would need to provide as it wouldn’t effect the budget. It would be similar to competitors for their DAOs sites. As mentioned in the context of the proposal, all project progression will be signed off before any funds provided by the multi-sig.

Notion is a great call! It makes it very easy and takes the maintenance off of you. I see why you didn’t spell out more. I just live in a more technical world so I hear ‘website’ and I think about the whole picture. a Notion site should fit the bill quite well, remain relatively secure over time without additional upkeep, and the cost is very fair. I assume TED will pay for the premium?

Yeah, so security will be handled and integrated with the platform I use along with notion.

The ongoing costs will be included in the Post 4 months updates/upkeep. The $TED bonus is just an incentive/bonus to complete the project on time. I feel projects like this should include $TED values along with XTZ.

Couldn’t agree more! You should be earning a larger stake and vote with your efforts, along with compensation. Especially when the compensation is relatively small compared to the work involved.

As nobody has confirmed they would like to have the Content(Writer) Role, I have allocated an update under Role Terms indicating the project can go ahead without help, funds will be allocated to the Lead Role fully and more time will be allocated to this project to complete if voting is successful.

As set out in timeline, today I will be publishing this to vote.
I had previously extended this from the 9th to the 12th as can be seen in the edits. This was due to issues with Homebase and P-011 which have since been sorted.

I will be making 1 last edit to remove the Content(Writer) role and allocate the funds to the Lead Role along with payment address(s) before I push this to vote.

Changed to P-012 ACTIVE. Proposal is now active on Homebase, locking the OP from further changes.

Voting info has been added to OP as per timestamp

Confirming results for P-012
