Colony is basically a intra-DAO payments clearing house and voting-on-motions engine. Very different from the early beta I experimented with in 2017 which was a sort of distributed kanban board. That kind of project management functionality is now external to Colony.

The recommended tool for kanban type functionality to actually manage and coordinate DAO projects is app.clarity.so which I'm *really* liking so far. Kanban + a kind of roadmapping tool based on seasons, and Web3 native wallet signin and token-based gating and payments.

So I guess the idea is, you define and track projects and tasks in Clarity, with payment promises attached, but the actual payments are done on the DAO app on Colony. You then reconcile by checking a box on Clarity. This should obviously be an integration...

Right now, our basic problem is that the YAKG token we minted to run our DAO lives on Gnosis chain but Clarity only allows Ethereum mainnet tokens to be added to the payments methods. The solution I suppose is to unlock YAKG and bridge it over to mainnet so it exists there too.

Our initial experiments are stalled by the fact that under Colony's scheme you need "reputation" to stake to back motions for voting, but you need completed work to get reputation, so chicken-egg. Right now, none of us seems to have earned enough reputation to back motions.

Root admins can force some actions, but right now, the DAO is running in authoritah mode. But things are slowly moving along. I *think* we're all gaining reputation, but the UI annotations are not very clear, so I don't know.

Okay, Clarity is awesome. You can add a token gate so people who have your token or NFTs can join. And there's wikis, notes etc. I'm totally using this now for my own projects. I'll mint a token on Mirror and use it to gate access to a Clarity base where we will make evil plans.

it's an ancient business software for analytics; i meant for it to be a catchall term for "business functionality software"
