As  a minnow my simple question is, Why don't everyone - community, witnesses and STEEM Inc take this opportunity to create a truly decentralized, community driven project by introducing a QA process which will be independent of the blockchain development ?


Projects like https://everipedia.org/ can be very easily be done on STEEM & there are numerous smaller projects  (say  https://dock.io/ ) which can be  very easily implemented on STEEM as opposed to certain other PoW chains. STEEM has a very solid foundations and I think its possible to bring smart contracts & Turing Completeness to the system making it possible to become a general purpose blockchain which also supports content.



The Goals can be formulated from the witness testaments regarding HF20 written by the witnesses and numerous people.

A DAO can be created and this can do the following but not limited to it:

- help the developers to run the TESTNET
- ensure that the code has enough test coverage
- maintain the CI-CD pipeline
- generate transactions mimicing the MAIN-NET
- publish test reports on a periodic basis
- help to bring in bug bounties
- create a code of conduct
- Attempt to join various blockchain consortiums
- work with Academicians in research
  
  
  A starting point can be using something like https://gitlab.com/SBCDAO/ 


There are numerous models like wikipedia, OpenStreetmap etc which was also able to financially succeed while being completely community driven.
This can be this project's and community's moment to glory.
