I’m in the minority here, but I’m skeptical of the DAOs ability to successfully fund offchain software. - Funding for non-public goods software is a solved problem - Software gradually decays even when open source (does the DAO need to pay maintainers forever?) - Judging quality is by committee is suboptimal

yes, which is why I think we should focus on funding public software. non-public (non-open source) software has enough capital competition that nouns treasury and governance structure is not well suited to compete.

I was thinking similarly. DAOs, but as a Bootstrapping mechanism for Open Source Software. Nouns generates a decent amount of Open Source software, would be nice if more of it was re-used and less fragmented.

Yeah I think it’s important to have a social expectation that the DAO will kickstart the project but funding will gradually decrease over time and it’s the project’s responsibility to find new sources of funding Prop house and agora are great but I don’t see why it’s beneficial that they are public goods

Prop House is the most successful by far. Second in stars and PRs only to NounsDAO main repo. It also generates Open Source software itself via the rounds. It’s difficult to find long tail OSS use outside of major repos like Prop House. I’ll include an image of PRs overtime for PHouse, Nouns, Lil’s, and Builder
