A masterplan would let localized efforts coordinate around known, anticipated events. Without anticipation there can be no unified action. Anticipations without actions are empty, but actions without anticipations are blind.
The idea I propose is to get a masterplan where all events are given approximate timings and are explained in clear terms (non-technical) such that the wider impact of that event is both predictable and understandable for all corners of the Bitshares Ecosystem as well as to any outsider.
Each member (of I3) and contributor to Bitshares should contribute their 2-3 month agendas to a giant masterplan. This would increase investor confidence, organize the community around milestones, sharpen promotional efforts, and allow us to predicts complex outcomes before they happen.
Perhaps we can use the pads for this? It does not have to be anything fancy.
I am just thinking, for instance, proximate timings for when Toast will complete various stages of the .p2p DAC, when the newsletter is coming out, when and who will participate in various conferences and interviews, when Brian will update the various sections of the webpage, when are the next mumble sessions and who will participate, who is trying to spread our message on btctalk and reddit and facebook and what is their plan for doing so and will it coincide with the launch of the products, and what stages of testing are we in with respect to bitshares XT and how long until things will get to this and that stage of user friendliness, etc.etc.
What do you guys think? Again, it would all be in one place, it would be non-technical and it would spell out motivations behind the anticipated actions. It would also serve as a quick, transparent review of the who's who? and what is going on? in the Bitshares Ecosystem.
