Creating the Giveth Manifesto

KI Kris is Public Seen by 309

A while on the communications to-do list and now officially crowdsourced, hurray! :clap: WE NEED YOU!! (whoever you are)

What are the Giveth Values according to you? What does Giveth stand for? Don't be shy, share whatever you think of, doesn't matter if you know Giveth well or not.
Just try to be kinda concise and if possible coherent ;-) but know ALL thoughts are very very welcome.

See this as our internal 'code of conduct', the 'rules' we live by and/or stand for. Personally I see this as 'internally-faced' but the beginning/foundation of way more, a basis on which we'll build an 'externally-facing' mission statement, rules for DApp admission and other building blocks that will help us scale.

--> Updated: Please add your thoughts by 11th of May 2018
--> Contributors WILL receive COMMpoints as an extra incentive ;-) :rainbow:

TIP 1: Listen to your gut and just share whatever you think of, there is no right or wrong - no need to read what others submit but welcome to build on this too.

TIP 2: This can be short or long - this can be a rant below, a work-in-progress google doc you link to, a first thought you edit & complete later: all is VERY welcome :heart:

TIP 3: Do need some inspiration? Check SC's great manifesto: https://press.swarm.city/manifest-f77bc1928ffe

Giveth is a global community focused on improving the world through blockchain technology.

Trustless systems like a distributed ledger allow us to eliminate the middle man, cut down costs and provide transparency and accountability. Our mission at Giveth is to bring this new reality to the world of charitable giving.

Although we recognize the important work performed by NGOs and philantropic institutions around the world, we believe that with blockchain technology we can improve and streamline this process by finally connecting the donor directly to the recipient through on-chain transactions.

This allows for a new level of engagement between givers and makers, between communities and sponsors between the developed and developing worlds.

Giveth is a community of communities. We are building a platform that provides the tools for individuals to get together, organize and fund their own projects.

We value honesty, transparency, freedom and accountability. We believe in the power of people to self-govern for the interest of the community.

Giveth is open to all individuals and communities who wish to build a better future together. Will you join us?
