GftW Deliverables and Work Planning

How to read this document and its color coding

Hello and welcome to the DisCO MOTHERSHIP GftW Deliverables and Work Planning wiki entry. This Mothership Wiki Entry takes over from the previous shared document. We've switched to the wiki for easy hyperlinking of the different sections.

Deliverable Status

There are two complementary types of statuses:

1. General Deliverable Top-level status
2. Specific deliverable 2nd-level status

Num 2 is always a subset of num 1. Let's look at each in turn:

1: General Deliverable Top-level status

Each of the main deliverables (extracted from the main DisCO Project Matrix) is color coded the following way.

DARK GREEN = Deliverable up to defined status/quantity

TURQUOISE = 2nd priority deliverable, dependent on time/resources

GREY BLUE = Planning, groundwork and pre-design

PEACH = Planning Only

Pink Text: Accounted as LoveWork, but part of project deliverable reporting

Green Text: Accounted as CareWork, but part of project deliverable reporting (DisCO LABs pilot development for DisCO MOTHERSHIP and Guerrilla Media Collective)

This lets us know the status of the deliverable in relation to Grant for the Web. This clarifies how much attention we pay to that specific deliverable within GftW's budget and scope. Deliverable status is displayed in the headers that precede each deliverable. Here's a visual example of what that looks like:

(INSERT SCRENSHOT + ADD DESCRIPTION)

2: Specific deliverable 2nd-level status

This refers to the bullet points listed under each General Top-level deliverable. The color key tells you the progress status of each of these:

Bright Green = Deliverable COMPLETED

Pale Green = Deliverable mainly completed. Follow up tasks pending

Bright Blue = Deliverable Currently Underway

Bright Yellow = NOT STARTED/PLANNING STAGE. Needs to get underway

Bright Red = Deliverable CANCELLED from GftW (but not from the DisCO Project) Moves into next funded/project

Here is an example of that:

(INSERT SCRENSHOT + ADD DESCRIPTION)

Deliverables are listed in approximate order of priority

Timeline

The Timeline is currently being revised for 2021. Watch this space for updates

DisCO and Geeks Without Bounds Collaboration
DisCO projects for GftW
TIMELINE	Team	MILESTONES
Pre-grant period (Oct 2020)	DisCO F.	Preparatory work on team roles, value distribution and KPIs. Organization of work with Value Flows dev team, DisCO RESEARCHers and DisCO pilots.
	GWOB	Define software architecture, User Stories drafted, recruit additional programming & UX team members (individuals and orgs), recruit cooperatives for pilot projects. Set up new GWOB legal entity and start 501c3 process. Establish new bank account. Launch new website.
November 2020	DisCO F.	DisCO Floor website structure, preliminary design and pilot survey. Draft design and structure for DisCO Handbook. Communication and outreach campaign.
	GWOB	All protocols (CommonsPub, Interledger, Web Monetization) talk to each other in "hello world" equiv for DisCO Deck, 1st graphic design of front end complete
December 2020	DisCO F.	DisCO Floor backend development. Pilot follow up. Final designs and UX. Ongoing comms and outreach. Handbook content.
	GWOB	Virtual Meetings with Pilot projects to discuss UX draft designs, First full front end built based on results of UX team + pilot team Meetings
January 2021	DisCO F.	Continued platform build, iteration and UX testing. Preliminary Handbook draft. End of year narrative, project progress update.
	GWOB	Pilot projects begin using MVP software; Meetings with pilot teams for deep feedback
February 2021	DisCO F.	Pilot projects begin using DisCO Floor and adding content relevant to their experiences. Handbook review and corrections. 1st implementation of Web Monetization and Interledger resources.
	GWOB	Continued software improvements; Meetings with pilot teams for deep feedback
March 2021	DisCO F.	Software improvements, platform testing and building bridges with DisCO Deck value tracking platform. Handbook formatting.

	GWOB	Continued software improvements; 2nd group of org pilot projects may begin here, or the software may get a 1.0 release, depending on experience of 1st 4 pilot projects; Pilot Project Report completed, published
Post-grant period 2021	DisCO F.	The DisCO project will continue work on the DisCO Floor and DisCO Handbook, and create other resources (see Attachment 2). We also expect the DisCO F. to be launched concurrently in early 2021. There will be ongoing DisCO RESEARCH, communications and pilot development work performed outside the scope of this proposal.
	GWOB	Continued software improvements; Conference talks about software (TECHnical) and experience (human); DisCO Deck may continue in GWOB accelerator for up to 2 years, as needed.

IMPORTANT NOTE

What follows is a very granular list. The truth is that most of these components overlap. Ie: completing parts of a deliverable listed in one section, will also advance others. This is a linear masterlist to allow us to:

1. Plan work
2. Allocate the budget
3. Make a Gantt Chart
4. Organize deliverables according to working circles
   1. This involves converting as many of these tasks into clearly labelled and scheduled Trello cards and checklists
5. Ensure meeting GftW deliverables

This documents some early distinctions about stages of development which need to be clarified further. Many of these components will reach an demo or alpha stage by the end of GftW (think V0.5 or V1.0 but all of them will require further development (toward permanent Beta) through other grants, etc. GftW is building the base for this future development.

We simply need to show some early prototypes to justify the grant. In real world terms this means that we get as far as the money allows, and plan for the next round (with any additional on-funded needed work tallied as LoveWork

RESEARCH lines

Financed by research partners. See notes below

IMPORTANT: The Research Circle and Research in general is not covered by GftW Funding. Therefore any research work done in-group/within the DisCO MOTHERSHIP is considered as Lovework. As there is constant interest in DisCO research from the partners below, any papers published on DisCO between November 2020 and May 2021 can be included as part of project deliverables.

• Distributed Cooperativism in action
• Designing whole-community governance
• Intra DisCO value flows
• Legal frameworks (on-chain and off)
• Feminist economic theory and practice
• Commons-oriented, feminist critique of DAOs
• DisCOin: Cryptocurrencies
• Commons-public partnerships

Events and Outreach

See notes below

We had an initial 20,000 USD allocation for Travel/Conferences costs, hoping for post-covid AfterTimes. Realistically, the GftW team told us to strike it off the budget. We offered repurposing it for staff salaries and online events (10,000 USD). See the Creative Catalyst Budget here (tab 1 is the original budget, tab 2 the updated one). The "Live online events and materials" budget line will be done in-house (Sofía, Bronagh, Felipe, Stacco etc) which gives us maximum flexibility to repurpose it as staff salaries. The Foundational Tech budget also has 500 USD set aside for events/virtual conferences.
