Ok @joe, given that decentralized futures is the future =) I think its time to put the Collectives chain to work in the way you outlined, in the hopes that we can plan out 2024 and organize work differently. Can we have a short “here’s what you need to do if you want to set up your { Polkadot Media, Core Data/Analytics Infra, RPC Infra, Anti-Scam … } Collective” from you?
I think those of us who have been around a while are quite capable of being members of a collective and using the Collectives Chain, we don’t want to turn “Therefore, we would actually have multiple instances of the Treasury pallet on the Collectives chain” into engineering work adding those instances. I suspect you and the substrate engs could do it in your collective sleep, but the rest of us just want to be users of those pallet instances.
As far as I can tell, the Polkadot Alliance was setup but are not actively doing motions and may as well be repurposed for the PTF to save a step? Just an idea.
If there are 5-10 Collectives that we should slot out for the end of Winter, can this be done in 1 or 2 shots in eg Dec and Feb or something like that?
