New Treasury Proposal — Polkadot ecosystem news aggregator

userdarhon

Greetings to all the DOT holders… I’ve been thinking we need a Polka/Kusama news aggregation website, optimized for mobile distribution, with great branding and catchy name — I went ahead and bought newsonthedot.com, sounds catchy… I'll commit transferring the domain to the group.

To fund this project, I’m willing to spend a few thousand dollars, but to do it right — I would need some branding help and various other tasks. Maybe we can do it as a DAO.

Anyway, just want to gauge the community interest on this potential proposal, and align stakeholders that want to participate.

Additional proposals can be made for specific Public Relations campaigns… targeted towards a specific industry that Polkadot can promote itself to. For example, we can hire local PR firms to localize the news in a particular city that has the target corporation. Like Memphis and FedEx, and press release will focus on how Polkadot can improve supply chain, logistics, trade finance, commodity exchanges, etc… Memphis would be much easier to get a story out than, NY for example.

Thoughts? The budget for the proposal will be determined based on the involvement of stakeholders.

Hi Darhon! Thanks for posting this!

If you want to use treasury funds for the proposal I would be happy to walk you through the guidelines for you to draft a submission that can be properly discussed by the council. To start with, you can check the guidelines and submission template here - we can jump on a call. Ping me on Element (ID: @raul.rtti:matrix.parity.io) or by email - raul@parity.io
