This is more of an evolution than a design so I'm not sure how much intent will factor into what they produce. The software tools, the head-turners and the ear grabbers that are available to them constrain where they may go from here. The beauty of the distributed platform that is emerging is that each service which makes up a project like Gridcoin can be produced independently within a larger ecosystem. Systems of governance are also such services, meaning the system does not have to be set in stone from the start.
