[FEATURE]: Move the Vote Process to a fully featured website.

This is somehow a unique feature where community members vote on which content and organizer will be showcasing. This imposes a nice pressure to increase the quality of the meetings and opens the community to a broader audience.

[Germano123]

[Feature]: Courses and workshops will be saved within the platform.

The courses and workshops that are held weekly by the community will be recorded and made available on the community platforms, however, other courses and workshops may be specific to those who are subscribers and contributors to the community

[Feature]: Activity in the community generates a currency that can be used to 'buy' new activities within the platform.

The community currency is in planning and it is still not well defined how it will be implemented, but the proposal is to use its value within the platform to 'buy' the activity proposed by a person, thus making that taxpayer can receive a value to produce the content

[FEATURE]: Decentralized Autonomous Community Management.

The community token can be used to be a partial community owner and be used to vote on where the community should go. More details in this doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BTEZRdgOsOVRe7Z0Vm_tZHEL3u4UgQX5UdkX0vo3M9k/edit

[Feature]: Space in the website for showing off projects made by the comunity and get reviews.

Having a space to post images, videos, gifs and even links to download and distribute the game to collect review can be a way to keep people engaged on the development.
