should be done in the open.

you can't know all the stakeholders and people who are working on something adjacent to what you're doing if worked in private, unannounced, groups.

Discussion

We've been discussing and welcoming input from others, there are various published notes mentioning all of this, even a nostrability issue. It all started with casual conversations about how the existing Nostr marketplace ecosystem wasn't meeting many of the needs for a comprehensive marketplace application. This led us to create a draft proposal, with all the major nostr marketplaces devs now participating. Since the beggining the idea was to open this draft for wider input as soon as possible

Also actively reaching out to stakeholders we saw appear on Nostr ✌️

Definitely an open channel, just requires an invite for now. I think we should totally scoot out to a more-open forum. Let’s chat about it!

Be careful about moving to open forum, rather than open-invite, as it can actually raise the hurdle for new entrants by forcing them to perform in front of an audience.

Couldn’t agree more 🙏 I think we did fine with the open-invite group, kept conversation focused and there was already enough to go through with our small group and reached out to others we saw on the network that are building on the same spec ✌️once the draft is out more comments will help reshape.

1) It actually is possible because it's often only a couple of people and they tend to make themselves known and you can approach them.

2) The whole point of self-organisation is that the people organizing do so under their own terms. If someone puts down rules of engagement and demands they follow them, then they have a boss.

3) Wake me up, when you aren't doing your best teamwork at conferences, or at an island retreat, both of which almost none of us can attend.

Definitely not unannounced or closed… we may not have the loudest voice on Nostr yet (compared to people working on other applications), but we’ve been openly posting about it since it formed and are working in nostr:npub1gzuushllat7pet0ccv9yuhygvc8ldeyhrgxuwg744dn5khnpk3gs3ea5ds public repo prior to making the commit! I’d say it’s open to anyone who has skin in the Nostr markets game…
