Thanks for your comment. If the steemit team bakes this sort of thing into the core code I will be rejoicing. A few questions.
Do you know if there is a writeup on the plan for curation guilds? I'd rather see that than a video discussion which seems very much less formal.
Even if a curation guild system is built into the core - what if you or I or anyone decides we don't like it?
If there were an open source app which is independent of the steem core code, people could make changes if and when they want to.
Finally, what happens if more important matters crop up? Will curation guilds be put on the back burner again?
I think since we have this decentralized system it would be great if we could have decentralized tools.
Sorry I don't know the plan or progress info. Perhaps you can contact @ned directly, or use the "Contact Steemit" link (click right top corner of this page, then a link near the bottom).
