I am not clear on how we can have centralised and decentralised simultaneously in a meaningful way. I actually don't think it's possible.
I can see the upside of using the Steem blockchain for such things, but Steem is not optimised for information management and project management - it is a bit unevolved in that sense. You can decline payments on posts and then have each contributor receive upvotes for their contribution (via their comment), so that would work ok in that sense.... However, I think that a purpose built application like asana.com would probably achieve most goals more effectively, since it is built to facilitate team management, goal setting and sharing etc.
As I mentioned to @starkerz earlier, one way to get around the problem of centralisation of Discord servers is to have a variety of Discord servers available that are rotated and chosen via a random number selection from the 'magic dice' app. - This does seem a bit cumbersome to me though, it's best to keep things as simple as possible.
Thanks for sharing your input @ura-soul!
We don't have a great tool yet, indeed, and that's a huge challenge for now. I wouldn't want that to hold us from experimenting though, from which we can learn what we actually need in order to maybe have that build in the future.
I think we should use the account to share ideas and get input and votes (yes/no, not upvotes), but maybe I'm not understanding this part of your comment correctly?
I am just suggesting you check out asana.com ;)
The commenting comment was in reference to you saying that the main posts would decline payouts. You said that maybe people would want payouts and I suggested that since people can be upvoted on their comments anyway that basically you can just continue to decline payouts.
Ah, right, I was thinking 'Steem interface', you suggest using asana.com itself. I don't think any third party app is a solution except maybe for specific working groups that want a way to plan their project, but what I'm thinking about is all the stuff that happens before you form a working group: propose ideas, gather input on the ideas, vote on which proposal works best/should be prioritized...
(Not sure where I said people would want payouts, but it's after 1AM here, I need to go sleep first and will get back to you tomorrow :D)
No worries. Asana can be used to track issues and is effectively a forum that allows a greater degree of information management than steem does - that's all.
