Hi James - just thought you might like to know that this item: Sputnik DAO profiles on Ceramic Network - is already something I have working in Catalyst (as well as proposal details and commenting/discussion). Can probably be improved, but happy to collaborate on this and assist/share my implementation at some point. Will be demonstrating it as part of our hackathon project.
