We issued our first Alas DAO Bulletin ([https://alasdao.substack.com/](https://alasdao.substack.com/)) and are now exploring Group Writing Features of Substack > **[Group publishing tools on Substack](https://on.substack.com/p/group-publishing-tools-on-substack)** > > Substack is built for independent writers, whether it’s one person writing their own newsletter, or a group of writers who want to collaborate together. We want to give everybody working in the openguitar ecosystem the opportunity to write about it. This will allow a perspective from as many angles as possible and still will be condensed in a coherent format: The Bulletin. We request 200N for up to 5 writers of future Alas DAO Bulletin posts. Total Requested Funding Amount: 1000N Project/Council Members: kn00t.near, fbravo.near Target: alas.sputnikdao.near ---

In June our DAO received 96 proposals, and we detailed the… it seems to me that this is more of an internal Guild proposal that your guild would approve on it’s own. Also, if this specific task is the only one you are looking to complete at the moment, it may be more appropriate to submit to the marketing vertical: [Marketing DAO - NEAR Forum](http://gov.near.org/c/marketing/marketingdao/91) ---

> [@tgoerke](#): > > We want to give everybody working in the openguitar ecosystem the opportunity to write about it. This will allow a perspective from as many angles as possible and still will be condensed in a coherent format: The Bulletin. Why is NEAR needed so that the community can have an opportunity to write? Also, why would that amount be $5000!? Seems like you don’t even have the writers prepped yet? So why would the funds be needed now? I think I am just confused at these large funding asks when it seems like there isn’t a clear purpose for how the funds are to be used. ---
