Xen0m0rf0 I don´t think it should be very complex or difficult to participate. Each of us think in a different way and a form requirement or many prerequisites could throw people away from participate. Ideas don´t come clear everytime and I think they should find a place even if they are imcomplete at first.

Good points. I like the idea of a brainstorming section/drawing board of sorts, and a separate section where proposals can be formally submitted, voted on, and discussed.

I do think the form is going to be helpful to cater to more serious discussions and especially developers. They can easily see answers to the most common questions (that the form asks) and what needs to be done and considered at a high level. We should have a section where we make efforts to frontload as much of the organization as we can on the idea side so that the implementation side for the developer can be as clear and as directed as possible.

So perhaps a "Drafts"/"Drawing board" section - anyone can freely post.
And a "Proposals" section - where a form is required to make submissions.

    genesis_1_1_1 The trade-off there is that developers/builders would have to dig through all of the discussions post by post, whereas with a form requirement they can easily see what needs to be done and considered at a high level. We should make efforts to frontload as much of the organization as we can on the idea side so that the implementation side for the developer can be as clear and as directed as possible. So, as stated above, I think there is a need for both a drafting/brainstorming section as you suggested and a formal proposal section.

    You´re right, it can get pretty messy pretty quick. Maybe is better to have a messy section where everything goes, and a separated, more structured section where the ones that want to/know how to put more work on it can do it in a more formal way.

    Maybe the ones that use a form to fill in all the required topics get highlighted from the ones that don´t use it. That way people get some encouragment to see their post at the top and put some more brain power and time into their own ideas.

    I think this are two sections for the same purpouse. I see them more as a "more developed" "less developed" thing.
    I think Proposals can go in the specific section they target as the XCM proposal.

    It seems to me that we are discussing how many levels of development should get their own section. 🤓 😆

      Xen0m0rf0 It's possible we are disagreeing on semantics or implementation details. I just want to suggest for a more organized/formal option that provides a good experience for developers and an option that provides a good experience for ideation/drafting. It can be tags, sections, pages, tabs, or something else, as long as those options are filterable somehow.

        How about we just implement IDEA top level tag and people can post whatever ideas and enhancements they come up with, as proposals?

          Hey @Admin I freaking love this website! Just curious (if you don't mind sharing of course) what tech stack you used to make xen.pub? I am getting into web development but I am overwhelmed with options of what framework to use, SQL or noSQL database etc. Would be amazing to get some insight into what you use and prefer as I am a big fan of what you have created here!

          Hey, thank you for your kind words.
          As far as technology stack, it's a mix of PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript on the front end (mostly vanilla code) and AdminLTE templates, with Python and PHP on the backend. As far as database I am using MariaDB.
          Hope that helps.

            Admin Thanks for your response dude! Love what you're doing for the community.

            Hmm maybe a dashboard thats not vertical but pops out more into the page

            I think it is good as is, simple but powerful
