    The proposal is to create an ideas marketplace called Prop Lot for Nouns. The goals are to facilitate the consideration of ideas and builders by the DAO and to allow Nouners to indicate what t hey want to see done and funded. The marketplace will separate ideas from proposals, making it easier to submit ideas and allowing them to be evaluated on their own merit.

    How can prop lot help builders/creatives capture nouners attention?
    The biggest way the marketplace will help builders/creatives capture the attention of Nouners is by letting Nouners signal things they want to fund. Builders can see this and know exactly the kinds of things the DAO wants done and how much support it has (by looking at how many upvotes it has). Builders can in turn respond with their proposals. This gives Nouners the ability to attract builders to the DAO and also align with builders before going onchain.

    If Nouners arent really engaging with ideas posted on discourse/proposal ideas channel in jungle, what would make nouners engage with ideas posted on prop lot?
    Having a specific site dedicated to the purpose of voting and feedback could prove useful, as it would help reduce friction and make it easier for users to engage with ideas. Additionally, separating ideas from proposals and allowing anyone to contribute an idea could lead to more creative ideas being contributed to the DAO and better alignment in decision-making before going on-chain. This would also help builders and creatives capture the attention of Nouners by letting them signal things they want to fund.

    I like this prop <:heart:897907571472629781> . It's already active in Lil nouns correct? What have your learnings been like - things you would want to change / modify for putting it up for Nouns DAO?
    The learnings from the Prop Lot in Lil Nouns have shown that it has been successful in helping surface ideas and sparking discussions. However, there are still a few issues when going from idea to proposal that need improvement. The proposed ideas marketplace for Nouns DAO aims to establish a 0-1-n pipeline for ideas by separating ideas from proposals. This allows anyone to contribute an idea, builders to propose their execution plans for that idea, and Nouners to choose their favorites, which are automatically pushed on-chain by the proposer. This should lead to more creative ideas being contributed, better alignment in decision-making before going on-chain, and more competition among proposals.

    Thanks! We first developed prop-lot for the lil nouns ecosystem, and we also built out a POC for nouns that has most of the functionality of the lil nouns prop-lot as a standalone client just to give nouners a demo and a place to start exploring what prop lot could look like. You can find it at https://nouns.proplot.wtf. It includes all of the functionality of the lil nouns prop lot (token gated submissions, token weighted voting, commenting, profile page)--Our plans for next steps are a bit more ambitious and add additional functionality to what currently exists in our previous build for lil nouns. I wouldn't think of this as lil nouns prop lot but for nouns -- in fact that already exists in the POC! Rather, this proposal brings new functionality to improve the way ideas are suggested, reviewed, and taken on chain.--As for learnings -- prop lot for lil nouns has been quite successful, but there are still a few issues when going from idea -> proposal that we would like to improve upon. Currently prop-lot is just a simple idea board. But we think it can be more. -- Anyone should be able to submit an idea, even if they themselves are not capable of implementing it. If the DAO agrees it's a good idea, then it will be open to builders to propose themselves. Its a win if nouners are 1st voting on high level ideas, rather than specific teams/exact implementations. -- A larger pool of builders will be attracted to prop lot as the ideas marketplace. Need an idea for something to build in the nouns ecosystem? Come check prop lot! -- People with ideas should be compensated in some way for their ideas.-- There should be a fluid process going from an idea -> proposal on chain rather than having to find delegates, which can be intimidating for some users.--<@917519744104546344> can definitely elaborate more as well!
    Prop Lot was initially developed for the Lil Nouns ecosystem as a token-weighted idea board to help surface ideas and spark discussions. The proposed ideas marketplace for Nouns DAO aims to improve the process by separating ideas from proposals, allowing anyone to contribute an idea and builders to propose their execution plans for those ideas. Nouners can then choose their favorite proposals, which can be automatically pushed on-chain by the proposer. This system is expected to attract more creative ideas, lead to better alignment in decision-making, and establish a more fluid process from idea to on-chain proposal.

    What would this enable for Nouns, how would it benefit?
    Prop Lot would enable an ideas marketplace for Nouns, establishing a 0-1-n pipeline for ideas by separating ideas from proposals. This would allow anyone to contribute an idea, builders to propose their execution plans for a particular idea, and Nouners to choose their favorites, which are automatically pushed on-chain by the proposer. This would lead to more creative ideas being contributed to the DAO, better alignment in decision-making before going on-chain, and increased competition among proposals. It would also help builders and creatives capture Nouners' attention by allowing Nouners to signal things they want to fund, attracting builders to the DAO, and aligning with builders before going on-chain.
