PLANET mvp - Specification

OS Oli SB Public Seen by 141

This is a space to discuss the tools and features of PLANET and what makes it into Phase 1 of the mvp.

See the attached 'Potential features and phases' Doc - but please note: This is ALL hypothetical and subject to change. Consider this a snapshot of current thinking and not something set in stone.

If you have ideas for other features, the best way to contribute is to develop comprehensive User Stories (following the "As a user, I want to:" format, and listing all the things you'd like to do), so we can incorporate / link to them from the Potential Features Doc.

In collaboration! :)

  1. I think a project management layer could be nice so people can share their progress publicly. This could be useful to prove (reputation) integrity along with just the benefit of exchanging progress updates.

  2. Perhaps related to the above, but also including more services — an extensions layer — where users can integrate some of their other services into Planet. For example, integrating GitHub’s project management layer (ie issues). This may be more technical, but could be really great for open source developers to add-on to the core functionality for more niche use cases…

All of these are possibly a bit more specific and would come later, but just to put it out there (not sure how 'complete' you'd want this feature set to be):

  1. A reward/bounty layer for proposals (currency / token / reputation-based value / ...)

  2. If we do (1), then also a progress-tracking layer where the implementation of proposals can be tracked (e.g. evidence uploaded and confirmed in regular intervals / on finish). For each verified step in the progress, a fraction of the reward could be paid out.

  3. ... a lot of ideas for the proposal phase: Metrics associated with proposals (how it will influence various targets), Prediction market, various voting modules, ...
    I guess for this, @spirit 's (2) , the extension layer, would be really good!

There's also the influence of new technologies on existing processes.

( I'm mostly working on Digital Fabrication, so this is my technological bias... )

As Digital Fabrication tools have become cheaper, there are solutions available now, that previously were only available to larger organisations.

This, in turn, reduces the costs of manufacturing, so smaller, local-level org's can get the same economies-of-scale that large org's are using.

Add in OSHW designs, and we've now got the capabilities to make the tools we need to thrive. :D

A monitoring/tracking function for tech-dev would be useful, as it can give the opportunity for creating new bounties, that will help the creation of new economic opportunities. :D
