I have the same issue here as I do with the previous iteration of this proposal, which is that I dont believe the product in its current form has enough traction to be worth continuing investing in for the DAO.

I love Voadz and the idea of making nounish art more discoverable, but the archive approach doesnt seem like its gained traction over the last few months, so dont think we should continue pursuing this direction. Would welcome another attempt at this idea under a different form. Thank you for taking the time to propose and repropose! 🙏

noun canvas this idea, distill it down and come back. no doubt there will be a need for this in future. but less assumptions and a lean outlook will do wonders. the finished product likely very different to what we/you might expect imo.

appreciate the energy put into the product and proposal but still seems like a tough ask to me (request to fund the continuation of a product that doesnt yet have any usage).

I really enjoy archives.wtf and have sent the link out many times. Am I the only one who has actually used this site? Its great! Theres an overwhelming amount of Nouns art on here and communicates a broad sense of Nouns and Nounish aesthetic. Its currently my 2nd favorite reference to send artists for research, second only to the actual Nouns DAO playground. If Nouns is going to last forever, shouldnt we be archiving everything? I would be happy to fund this as is, but it doesnt look like it will pass. In the next iteration of this prop I would like to see the following: 1. A continued focus on CC0. The art is all interesting, mostly for skimming though. I can actually use the CC0 content! I can put it in videos, art, put it on a shirt. The more this focuses on CC0 media the more it enables and encourages viral permissionless growth of Nouns. 2. The Nouns DAO on-chain proposals section needs to be fleshed out more, and could also be a serious justification for this project. Each funded DAO proposal should have a ton of meta-media. Behind the scenes shots, interviews with the proposer, images from the on-chain prop, screenshots and screen recordings of anything digital. Currently most props have 1-4 images and it doesnt feel comprehensive. Work with the prop submitters and teams to really get a thorough pile of media from them. 3. Better top-level organization of content. I dont really understand the difference between NOUNS SPECIAL and NOUNS WORLD and NOUNS on the front page - it should be way more intuitive. Each item on the front page needs to be essential and obvious. 4. This prop is probably too focused on the design and tech. It looks beautiful, and the arweave uploader is cool, but I think the focus really needs to be on usability, figuring out exactly what needs this fulfills, and on the content itself. I know on-chain rejections are challenging, but I encourage this team to workshop the proposal one more time and submit again. There is high quality work being done here and I would like to see it continued.

My thesis as a delegate is: “Nouns has a unique role in the ecosystem as a gathering place around public goods.” I understand the debates on both sides — that archiving is a valuable public good, but that there may not be enough demand for it. I also understand that, since there was prior funding, the DAO is more hesitant to fund something unless it grows as a public good and accumulates more users. I don’t feel that I have a good grasp on the history of the proposal, so I do not feel confident making a decision. But I will add some point of meta-comment: Individual ideas here are really interesting, such as the Nouns Zine or the Prop House round for funding cover artworks. Splitting these out into their own proposals could be a great way to allow the DAO to pick and choose individual public goods to fund. At the same time, I understand that proposal revisions and the constant “If only there was one more thing…” type of feedback is not particularly helpful, so I know that you may not want to act on it.

I think you should consider repackaging this idea/product. Instead of focusing on what would be good/useful for the community, laser-focus on what users might throw themselves over today.

The team behind Archives.wtf is seeking 50 ETH in funding to continue developing the platform as the main archive center for Nouns DAO over the next six months (June 23 - Nov 23). The focus is on developing features and tools that enhance community engagement and contribute to the platform, benefiting the DAO and its ecosystem.

Also seems like all entries need to be submitted manually right now?
Yes, currently all entries are being done manually by the curation team. However, with the submission form, the community will be able to contribute as well, lessening the burden on the curation team and making the process more sustainable.
