Hi @exyle as @andrarchy noted we're starting abstract. Yes, it can sound a bit vague now, but it will clarify later... this is about giving you a 'map of the territory' before we dive deeper.

Take #1 to #4... What does that mean?
It means developing a system for actually getting things done. For example...
Where do you post a growth idea?
How do you know if anyone wants to help you do it, and what should you do then?
How do we keep track of growth ideas?
How do we coordinate our resources (time, people, money) to ideas?
How do we judge the value of these ideas?
How do we vote on ideas? How do we stop failed ideas?

As you can see, the simple question of 'how do we organize the Steem community' gets very gritty, very fast. If we are asking and answering those questions for each idea, we're wasting a colossal amount of time and energy.

If we can make a streamlined system the first time, we'll be able to put all that saved energy into living better lives, and achieving more success.

The whole point of crowdsourcing is scaling, so we mind as well make it efficient from the start. But I didn't think it was appropriate to dive into this level of detail... which would be my mistake. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I'll strive to be clearer going forward.
