## Funding BSIPs/Worker proposals!
We've got this massive reserve pool of funds to potentially fund development - it's literally in the hundreds of millions $ range!

Some may argue that users who fear BTS dilution will reject all worker proposals, however I believe this was only the case a couple years ago for Bytemaster due to political reasons. Given how less BTS will be distributed now due to the current marketcap, this may not be as serious of a concern anymore.

I feel that there are two things blocking worker proposal attempts:
* <del>Inability to create worker proposal via the GUI.</del> ([Bitshares-UI issue raised!](https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-ui/issues/173) --> ***svk31 has developed this feature, soon to be released***!)
* Having to create a worker proposal to request funds for potentially developing features for the Bitshares DEX. I feel that requesting payment may be a daunting task, putting users off. If we were able to create bounty proposals to advertise the need and support of a potential [BSIP](https://github.com/bitshares/bsips) we'll successfully recruit developers. Thoughts?

## Writing up [BSIP](https://github.com/bitshares/bsips)s after discussion!
After coming up with a great idea, or holding a discussion about a possible idea we need to make a habit of writing up a [BSIP](https://github.com/bitshares/bsips) to get action going on new features.

Case and point, I still need to write up a [BSIP](https://github.com/bitshares/bsips) for 'Earning interest/dividends on bitassets' ([The forum post has 3000+ views and 9 pages!](https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,23981.0.html))

## Bitshares Roadmap?

Could we update the [Bitshares roadmap](https://bitshares.org/roadmap.html)?  The last entry in the current roadmap on the official bitshares website is Feb 2016.
