# Wordsmiths

In accordance with the RAIDGUILD COMMMS AND COMMUNITY LEAD RIP, put together by members of ShillShop, Wordsmiths is looking to facilitate communications and content creation/dissemination for Guild internal ops, RIPs, External Raids, as well as additional projects that present themselves to Shill-Shop or come directy to Wordsmiths

### Goal

The aim of this proposal is to provide Raiders with an overview of the structure as well as the deliverables that Wordsmiths is dedicated to shipping RaidGuild, ShillShop, and the wider web3 ecosystem.

### Wordsmiths Elevator Pitch

Wordsmiths, a DAO gaining activation energy and geared at slaying Moloch aims to reduce coordination failure and simplify communications for web3 organizations. We are a writers collective focused on creating and preparing documentation (technical/non-technical), such as: blog posts, FAQs, educational materials, and copy for your web3 organization.

### Participants (add your name here...)

- Bau (PM/Writer, Wordsmiths)
- Harry (Writer, Wordsmiths)
- Joe (Guides, Documentation, Tutorial Videos)
- Avalon (Copywriting, Documentation/Technical Writing, UX Writing, Editing, Content Design)

### Initial Deliverables

1. ~~[RaidGuild Handbook Re-work]~~(https://github.com/raid-guild/RIPs/issues/41)
2. Raid Guild Newsletter & Comms(extended coverage on our clients)
3. DAOhaus and ancillary projects/DAOs

### Purpose

Web3 organizations today have a strong ability to connect with their direct community through discord, twitter, reddit, and other social media channels. What has not been established insofar as the exponential "horizontal" growth of web3 communities, is something that ties the value these organizations create for their communities to others' communities in the web3 space. This is to say, there is no cross-pollinating community-centric focus from any of the web3 projects that exist today. By being able to communicate and understand the diversity that different projects offer their users, we will inspire projects in a similar ecosystem with non-mutually exlusive communities to begin to collaborate.

### Open questions
* What projects are we actively seeking?
* Documentation i.e.(FAQs, blog posts, educational material)
* Trascriptions i.e. (youtube vids, podcasts, etc.)
* Possibly hosting podcasts/panels with community stakeholders

* What is our audience, who is our end user?
* DAOs, web3 projects, etc.
* Consumers and builders of Web3 tooling
* web3 savvy and non-crypto native

* Who can get involved?
* Writers who want to get involved can simply submit a proposal to join the DAO with a portfolio of their previous works as wells as a description about why they are excited to participate in #wordsmiths

* Where does Wordsmiths exist today
* Wordsmiths exists only inside of the Raid Guild, the funds that we earn from Raid Guild will be used to bootstrap deployment of our own DAO through DAOhaus.gg

### To avoid
* Overcomplicating our mission and spreading our organization too thin, focus on what can be done today.
* Forcing writers to take on projects that they themselves aren't capable of or do not want to do.
* Writing about web3 in a way that is incomprehensible to the average joe
