Self Deployable DAO Slack

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Let's talk Discord first.

❌ It wasn't purpose-built for Web3 Community Management - where people gather to discuss and distribute/transact digital assets (tokens and NFTs) of real-world value.

❌ Most of the recent discord hacks and phishing scams are actually leveraging feature of the platform, not bugs

❌ One vulnerability on Discord, is the accessibility and use of the Discord Token. This vulnerability allows anyone with access to a browser (where a user is logged in) to grab a token, which is a representation of the user's authentication credentials, to log in as that user on any browser, bypassing multifactor authentication (MFA or 2FA)

What we want to accomplish is leveraging https://github.com/mattermost

licenses can be found here: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/blob/master/LICENSE.txt

The idea is for a fully open sourced implementation.

There is the server: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server

Mobile app: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-mobile

Desktop app: https://github.com/mattermost/desktop

Web App: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-webapp

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

This will allow for DAO's to use the tooling to self host servers for better security. We can start implementing the tools ADAOCommunity is making like round table: https://github.com/ADAOcommunity/round-table into these self hosted apps as well.

🎯Here is what we as project owners and builders should be intentional about:

✅ We must change our default tooling choices to tools that offers the best security and functionality for our use case

✅ We must chose to put security at the forefront of all decisions and make it a core component of all stages: Define, Design, Build, Launch, Maintain & Sustain

✅ We must require our community managers to leverage the high standards of security (e.g., using multi-factor authentication, MFA, use a password manager to create and store credentials, never trust, always verify, phishing training, etc.)

✅ We must educate our communities (customers) in safe and secure behaviors (e.g., don't accept DM's with offers, use MFA, beware of phishing, never trust, always verify, etc.)

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

Finding a better tooling solution that should be used.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

tbd as I ask ADACommunity and Nils if they may be interested in being invovled.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide details of the people who will work on the project.

[FEASIBILITY] If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

The goat would be to finish with the expected funding. At least to a level that anyone can host their own files with docker or kubernetes.

[FEASIBILITY] Are you or any member of your team working on any other proposals in this Fund9?

[FEASIBILITY] Are you or your team working on any other proposals from previous Funds?

[AUDITABILITY] Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?

We will make an open source repo. We can have a project board on the github setup in an AGILE way.

[AUDITABILITY] What does success for this project look like?

A discord replacement with customizable frontends. A full Cardano wallets NFT authenticated experience.

[AUDITABILITY] Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.

No but it will be a collection of projects mashed together. From https://github.com/ADAOcommunity/round-table, https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server and https://github.com/nilscodes/hazelnet
