The power of Proposals

I wrote a post a few weeks ago on Hackernoon covering proposals on the SORA network. This article took a dive into governance proposals, but the main focus was mostly on RFP. At the risk of seeming like a broken record, I personally like the premise of having a system to request proposals (yes, it starts as a request, then becomes a proposal that can be merged). As opposed to other projects in the space that have a roadmap, which is all well and good, but quite centralized, SORA does things differently, and tackles the issue of decentralization in a totally different way. You can read the article to see what I mean, but, this also led to a very interesting discovery, the people who consider themselves "professionals" (as in living off this activity) jump in to a project in a very robotic or almost scripted way, they ask wer roadmap? then, after a keen community member points this pro to what they're looking for, the person returns and asks wer tokenomics? This goes on until a few days later, when the person finally asks wen marketing?

Ideally, this premise can be shattered, and people could instead ask what are the ongoing proposals? Even better, people could include their own proposals and begin productive discussions to improve the network and strenghten the community, but I am rambling at this point. Please enjoy the article though, and full disclosure, I am one of the degenerates I speak of, the knowledge I share is empirical.
