Hey @cloudhead (& the Radicle team) - thanks for the detailed proposal! Sounds like there are a lot of exciting developments to look forward to in 2024!!! I have a few questions for you below:
Does the Radicle team not technically have the sole power to add/remove functionality currently as well? What processes/checks & balances do you have in place within Radicle that would prevent the team from being able to turn off partial or full functionality of Radicle?
In a similar vein, what processes are in place to allow user/contributor influence over protocol development or changes to the protocol?
Is this section in order of importance/urgency and therefore in order of when you plan to tackle these throughout 2024? If not, would you mind adding more detail around when (what quarter for example) you plan to tackle each of your objectives?
What are some features or services you are already imaginings users would pay for? In the Radicle<>Radworks MoU, you mention βthe ideal end-state for Radicle is to exist as a fully community-driven open-source project that is supported by a handful of organizations and users who pay for support, hosting or licensing.β Would you be able to elaborate here a bit?
Related to the above: Have you thought about how you will plan to price these services? Also, who will be involved in deciding what those fees will be?
More of a comment - but it has really been great to see Radicle talks and folks from the Radicle team pop up at more events & conferences recently! It was awesome to watch a bunch of devs join the Radicle onboarding workshop hosted by @sebastinez & @erikli at Protocol Berg in Berlin this year and be really excited about trying out the new Heartwood protocol! I hope to see this trend continue in 2024! Do you have any conferences/events already on your calendars for 2024?
