Thank @Pop for the summarize, for the draft purpose of Gitcoin (mission) I still have concerns.
regarding the draft purpose: To empower communities to build & fund their shared needs.
It’s too broad and vague.
Comparing with Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.
Broad - communities, when I see communities, and shared needs, it is too broad. Community could be alias of DAO, real community I live in, or other format of community (like community of practice, a group of people with same habits etc). From google’s mission, we can see it focuses on the world’s information, broad but specific. For shared needs it is also too broad.
Vague - Communities, and shared needs are value as well. As above mentioned, what kind of communities Gitcoin would support? For shared needs, it is vague too, which leads the unclear questions. What questions Gitcoin should solve?
But comparing with google’s mission, it’s clear that the potential question is current world's information is not well organized, and then not be accessed universally.
So what questions are Gitcoin aiming at?
I believe that community shared needs are not the question. The questions could be:
- DAO’s governance process
- DAO’s compensation model
So I would suggest to rephrase the purpose like:
To empower Decentralized Autonomous Organization (aka DAO) to make them flourish.
