Proposal: Creation of an Idea Bank for the Polkadot Ecosystem

Abstract:
This proposal aims to create an Idea Bank for the Polkadot ecosystem, providing a structured and organized platform for community members to share innovative ideas. The Idea Bank will foster collaboration, inspire developers, and potentially reward contributors for their valuable insights.

Introduction:
The Polkadot ecosystem thrives on innovation and collaboration. However, many community members have valuable ideas that often remain unshared due to the lack of a proper platform. The Idea Bank will address this gap by providing a dedicated space where anyone can post their ideas following a predefined format. This initiative will enhance community engagement, streamline idea generation, and support the ecosystem’s growth as developers can take inspiration for their next project.

Proposal Details:

1. Structure of the Idea Bank:
The Idea Bank will have a user-friendly interface with categories such as:

  • DeFi
  • Infrastructure
  • Wallet
  • Gaming
  • NFTs
  • Development Tools
  • Social
  • Others (for miscellaneous ideas)

2. Idea Submission Format:
To ensure clarity and consistency, users must follow a standardized format when submitting their ideas. The format includes:

  • Title: A concise and descriptive title for the idea.
  • Problem Statement: A brief description of the problem the idea aims to solve.
  • Explanation: A detailed explanation of the idea, including its potential impact and implementation suggestions.
  • Difficulty Level: The development difficulty level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced).
  • Compensation Button: An optional button allowing teams to compensate the idea submitter with tokens, money, or other rewards if they decide to develop the idea.

3. Implementation:

  • Create a separate website for “The Idea Bank”.
  • Users can submit ideas by filling out a standardized form.
  • The ideas will be categorized automatically based on the selected category.
  • The compensation mechanism will be optional, meaning developers do not have to pay the submitter to use the idea, but a small incentive will be appreciated.

4. Benefits:

  • Enhanced Collaboration: Encourages community members to share ideas and collaborate on projects.
  • Inspiration for Developers: Provides a repository of ideas for developers to explore and build upon.
  • Recognition and Rewards: Offers a mechanism for idea submitters to be recognized and potentially rewarded for their contributions.

Conclusion:
The Idea Bank will serve as a catalyst for innovation within the Polkadot ecosystem. By providing a structured platform for idea sharing, we can harness the collective intelligence of the community and drive the ecosystem forward. We invite the community to support this proposal and contribute to the success of the Idea Bank.

P.S.
I encourage all community members to participate in the discussion and provide feedback on this proposal. Your input is invaluable in shaping the future of the Polkadot ecosystem.

Thank you,

why do we need to build another webside for it? a github repo or simply use this forum will be enough

A dedicated website will be helpful. If you can integrate it into the forum with all its features will be awesome.

Or even it be best to create a dedicated website & make it open-source.

This would be helpful to connect Founder with potential developers as well as software houses, and enables new and innovative Dapp on Polkadot. IMO this will be easier in UI/UX as well rather than Github. Let’s make this a reality!
