Yes, I think this is the real point. To be clear, I don’t think that this is anything on the scrtlabs devs who are already doing an amazing job, but it is simply a solvable project management issue.

@tor, I do think this is something that is felt across the wider community. lots of devs working on the network will either stay quiet because they think it might affect future funding opportunities, or they might leave the ecosystem all together. This is valuable feedback that I think needs to be heard. Of course, the people developing things on Secret Network understand the great progress, etc. otherwise they would not still be here. But what devs really need are not reassurances, or marketing in the sense that things could be better than we think they are.

Marketing communication serves a purpose on the network, and if someone has been hired in for that that great. But what devs need is detailed, unfiltered information about project goals and plans for the network. This also helps ensure the long-term sustainability of the network, because with increased transparency it creates opportunities for developers outside of secret labs to contribute to core network development over time. This benefits everyone.

Also, it does not need to be communication in the sense of well-curated announcements. It could be something like doing a dump of what was done this week, like what matrix does: [Matrix.org - This Week in Matrix](https://matrix.org/blog/category/this-week-in-matrix) . Or it could be pitched for people who like to use developer tools, such as posting a detailed roadmap to GitHub projects: [Projects · scrtlabs · GitHub](https://github.com/orgs/scrtlabs/projects?type=beta)

From what I understand there are hundreds of millions of dollars that have been earmarked for new development on Secret Network. Surely, this means there are resources to throw at this problem? If managing this kind of thing does not fall within the expertise of the current team or they simply don’t have time for it, then poach someone who has done this before! There are lots of people who have done this kind of work on software engineering projects.

Well said @darwinzer0, I’m in agreement. I think opening up the lines of communication and keeping transparency will likely help us all in the long run. This should probably be added to one of the weekly calls and brought up for a broader discussion.

@pmuecke - could we add this as a discussion point to the agenda of this week’s governance call?

If anyone else is interested in joining, the call takes place on [Wednesdays, 4:00 - 5:00 PM UTC](https://scrt.network/committees) in the [Secret Network Discord](https://chat.scrt.network/).

I’ve added it to today’s Governance call agenda as ‘How to improve the developer experience on Secret Network’.
