Full-on open source. Everyone w\ token can vote ("1share 1vote"). General public can view.

Hi Izys- I don't think this has been discussed in issues. Perhaps raise it there and make a pull request if it get agreed upon?

Voting is already designed within the DAO protocol the Jentzsch brothers and Stephan have developed. This is a discussion forum only- we think it would be best to keep it moderately private (but viewing capability could be low enough to require only a tiny fraction of a DAO token). In practice this would result in a little protection, maintaining the commercial interests of DAO stakeholders.

Also we wouldn't be using Ethereum/ the DAO's full capabilities if we didn't try to incentivise development (rather than allowing it to be funded opaquely by commercial entities or volunteers). That way we can attract good minds to the project as well as development talent. It can still be a non-profit. There are a number of historical problems around these types of open-source projects we could try and address.

Equally in the short term we anticipate hosting will be needed outside of the Ethereum blockchain, and this can be funded by getting a revenue stream from the DAO.

Like bitcoin true incentives might not to be monetary..

vmichalik commented 8 years ago

They are either short term monetary or long term monetary. Bitcoin is a perfect example of what I'm describing in fact- developers are incentivised by the future value of their token holdings as well as commercial entities.

@lzys We'll discuss some of these changes on friday. Again, I'm personally all for 100% open-source. As far as forum visibility is concerned, I think that is very debatable whether or not the general public should be able to view it. I tend like the idea of only DAO participants being able to view their specific forum, but ultimately there is no way to stop people sharing posts outside of the forum anyway. So an attempt to make communications opaque would likely be in vain anyway. Thus, limiting participation to DAO token holders is probably the best solution.
