If so—I think the idea is interesting, but I agree with some of the commenters there who pointed out that:
existing Q&A setups can be adapted for new websites so it is not necessary to build something from scratch
existing websites and the current forum can be used to address issues
it is difficult to justify a new platform in light of the community costs in setting up a new one
it is important to try simple prototypes first to gauge interest.
The idea you are proposing in this post is different, but you would need to explain why the funding model should change. Just because getting funding is hard does not mean it should be easy! For example, for the project above, there seem to be good reasons why it would not be funded, even though it is an interesting idea.
That’s one of the ideas we tried raising funds for but its not the only idea.
The core mission of the organization I’m building (my personal organization, not this DAO) is to come up with ideas which we think might be worthwhile. The idea in that post is one of the ideas we came up with. This DAO idea is another. There are a number of others. It is this organization that I am wanting to fundraise for.
Regarding your linked post and whether that idea should be funded or not, I’m of the opinion that there are equally good arguments as to why it should be funded but the debate on that post was unfortunately not robust enough to uncover all nuances of the argument.
PS—you mentioned you wanted to raise your own funds as well—is this for this idea?
