D_D Academy Sync - 18 Jun 2024

A stand-up across D_D Academy sub-teams.

The greater Academy team stays up to speed on the big picture.
Sub-teams highlight blockers and opportunities to collaborate across the initiatives.

Check-in. 30 seconds each: How are you feeling? What are you grateful for? What are your expectations for the meeting?
- Expectations: get back in the loop, figure out what we can move forward, share dev updates, gather opinions on next steps
Must covers. Anything pressing that needs addressing immediately?
5 minute floor for Team Stewards to highlight events in their domain:
- Development
  - markkos89eth: updates from Next.js “app router” refactor - easiest path was to create a new repo with the latest T3 updates
    - went down the thirdweb auth route, but needed a credit card, so backed out and went with latest rainbowkit for now
      - TODO: check in with kemp on how much we want this
    - admin dashboard will need to get migrated over too; needs an auth strategy - wallet address or NFT, etc.
    - future iteration: wysiwyg editor for content authors
- Pedagogy & Content
  - wolovim: ar.io track update
- Product & Design
5 minute floor for other updates. Add any other topics for discussion as bullet points below.
- discussion: Academy project closer to/within Labs in the future.
  - Seems day-to-day wouldn’t change much. Wouldn’t have to do organize Academy budgets separately and get them through governance.
  - concerns: over-commercialization, sacrificing product direction
Check-out. 30 seconds each: How are you feeling? Takeaways from the meeting?
