Appendix: development plan for next 3~6 months. They are just for information sharing, no request in this proposal.

Dotreasury:
1. More statistics. We will make more tags, and mark spendings, so we can get ratios of different spending types(marketing, development, research, etc).
2. Dapp features, more interfaces to interact with bounties, proposals, tips in a more user friendly way.
3. Providing public graphql apis for community.


Statescan:

We aim to make statescan an explorer solution which can be used for common substrate chains. Its main traits will be business oriented, which means well designed visualization to show on-chain business will be the most high priority goals. We also plan to use statescan development to collaborate and educate community developers, so we can enroll more developers to dotsama ecosystem. 

Future work in roadmap:
- Migrate statemine/statemint explorer to [statescan-v2](https://github.com/opensquare-network/statescan-v2) repo.
- Support polkadot/kusama.
- Implement business for identity and vesting pallets. These work will be covered by the [bounty 11](https://kusama.subsquare.io/treasury/bounty/11).
- Begin collaboration with developers in our bounties platform which will be released soon. Please check the code [here](https://github.com/opensquare-network/bounties).

Subsquare:

- Governance 2.0 support.
- Off-chain discussions data decentralization. Steps:
  1. Draft a spec.
  2. Discuss with community in case of missed considerations and better ideas.
  3. Implementation. We may start first from discussion posts, then on-chain proposals.
- Post edition features enhacement which includes post tags/categories, post content catalog, uploading image directly from editor, etc. Check this [issue](https://github.com/opensquare-network/subsquare/issues/1466).
