What can the DAO do to help TSB Devs?

[sebga]

We’ve seen plenty of proposals, but I don’t think we’ve ever asked core developers: “What do you need?”
Perhaps the DAO could help, fund freelance developers or something else, depending on the team’s real needs.

[Lanzer]

Yes. Absolutely.

Trouble is. I don’t actually know who the core devs are (shame on me ) or how to contact them. How do we best get answers to these ques–OH WAIT I KNOW

@theKuntaMC , perhaps a DiTS episode is in order?

This is great, @sebga

I have moved this topic from General to SIP: Ideas for more discussion amongst the community and @Delegates…

While delegates cannot author a SIP, they CAN author a brief letter to TSB devs offering the DAO as a platform to help meet their needs instead of just our asking them for what we want. – This thread can be used for a volunteer (Sebga) to make the first draft so others here can chime in.

Admin will make sure that letter is sent to all relevant parties at TSB.

Any response we might get from TSB could then be crafted into a SIP by Admin, one of our @Allocators, or a community member.

For context, this is similar to when Admin asked TSB devs what they need, which is how the UGC RFP arose. However, a letter signed by all/most of our @delegates (and @Allocators) would be a strong gesture of goodwill in our efforts to align as closely as possible.

[sebga]

This is awesome. I’m on it. I’ll post the first draft here.

hey @theKuntaMC , this is a FR version and English version.
I’m sure the FR is good, the EN one looks good to me but you’re the one who can confirm (or other english native language people)

Objet : Besoins de l’équipe dev – Un petit coup de pouce de la DAO ?

Salut l’équipe Sandbox ,

Au nom des délégués de la Sandbox DAO, nous voulions vous adresser ce message pour prendre un instant de recul — entre deux portails vers le metaverse — et vous poser une question simple :
De quoi avez-vous besoin en ce moment pour avancer plus vite, plus loin, ou tout simplement plus sereinement ?

Qu’il s’agisse :

• d’un soutien ponctuel pour embaucher des freelances,
• de fonds pour accélérer une tâche spécifique ou un backlog un peu trop ambitieux,
• d’un besoin de visibilité, de coordination, ou d’outils partagés…

… la DAO est là pour ça.
Nous savons que construire le métavers demande plus que du code : ça demande de l’élan collectif, et parfois, un petit boost bien placé.

Si certaines tâches sont à l’arrêt faute de ressources, ou si des projets pourraient être débloqués rapidement avec un peu d’aide, n’hésitez pas à nous le faire savoir. L’idée n’est pas d’alourdir vos process, mais plutôt de voir où la DAO peut être utile et proactive, au bon endroit, au bon moment.

On reste bien entendu disponibles pour échanger à ce sujet de manière informelle, ou lors de la prochaine réunion si vous préférez un cadre plus structuré.

À très vite dans le Game Maker —

Subject: What Do You Need? A Little Boost from the DAO?

Hey Sandbox Dev Team ,

On behalf of the Sandbox DAO delegates, we wanted to reach out with a quick check-in — a moment to pause between portals — and ask a simple question:

Is there anything you currently need that the DAO could help support?

Whether it’s:

• Budget to bring on a few freelance hands,
• Help moving a specific task off the backlog,
• Or support for tools, coordination, or visibility…

…the DAO is here for it.

We know building the metaverse takes more than code — it takes momentum, collaboration, and sometimes, a timely power-up .

If there are areas where progress is slowed due to resource gaps, or initiatives that could move faster with a little push, let us know. This isn’t about adding process — it’s about being helpful, where it counts.

We’re happy to continue the conversation asynchronously or during the next sync, whatever works best for you.

Catch you in the Game Maker,
— The Sandbox DAO Delegates
