Should the problem/opportunity outlined be refined and taken to the next level?

Problem Statement

Decentraland DAO is currently facing a critical challenge with the transition to SDK7. The migration process involves significant changes, and without dedicated support, developers may face obstacles, leading to disruptions in project timelines, increased development costs, and potential user experience issues.

Moreover, many projects which have been successful on previous SDK versions, now face the risk of complications that could render them obsolete in the short term. This situation not only jeopardizes the innovation and creativity these projects bring to the metaverse but also raises the specter of wasted funds that the DAO has previously invested in these projects.

Proposed Solution

To address the challenges associated with the SDK7 migration, we propose the creation of a specialized "Support Team for SDK Migration." This team should consist of experienced developers, project managers, and community liaisons dedicated to assisting developers throughout the migration process. The support team should offer:

• Technical Guidance: Expert advice on navigating the SDK7 features and addressing compatibility issues.
• Documentation: Comprehensive guides and documentation to ease the migration process for developers of all skill levels.
• Bug Resolution: Quick identification and resolution of SDK7-related bugs to ensure a seamless transition.
• Community Engagement: Regular communication and engagement with the Decentraland developer community to address concerns through open sessions, workshops, one-on-one meetings, etc.

Target Audience/Customer Base

The primary audience for this support team includes Decentraland developers, both individual and team-based, who are actively working on projects within the Decentraland ecosystem.

Why is this relevant now?

The urgency of this proposal is underscored by the imminent SDK6 sunset. As technology evolves, staying up to date is not just an option but a necessity. By establishing the Support Team for SDK7 Migration, the DAO can proactively address challenges, ensuring a smooth transition for developers and creators.

Timely support will minimize disruptions, maintain developer confidence, and contribute to the overall growth of the ecosystem. The creation of a dedicated Support Team for SDK7 Migration is a strategic investment in the continued success and innovation of Decentraland DAO.
