The document proposes a "Guild Bounty" system where NPCs in a virtual village post jobs/tasks for players to complete. Players can join groups of up to three people to work on tasks like killing monsters or harvesting berries. Upon completion, they report back to the Guild and are rewarded. It outlines guidelines for key elements of this process - a Kanban board to post tasks, using a communication channel like #devops to advertise available tasks like a "gong," forming groups in public channels, having a set time like 1 hour per week to work on tasks, and reporting results to earn rewards. It is presented as a way to experiment and enable people who want to work on ideas in parallel with organizational support
