Thanks for all your work on this and for inviting community feedback. It is very often the case that when proposals get funded, the desire of people behind them to integrate community feedback into their work and roadmaps wanes. With this disconnect, community support goes down over time. It feels like with a project of SPK's magnitude, this kind of disconnect has happened, and the community rightly wants to see its priorities addressed. Just my two cents - take it or leave it.
My personal feedback is that I would like to see a more concrete first milestone that will bring a new feature that can be felt by the Hive user. That could be for example the delivery of an image hosting service which frontends can begin using instead of the centralized image servers they use now. In essence, I want to see an SPK feature that becomes fully available, and the deliverable is not simply a release of a software package or documentation but for the average Hive user to be able to use this feature.
Feel free to download the desktop app... and use the CDN to host images.

I would like to use a frontend to upload images to SPK network. This seems like the most common use case. What is needed for frontends to be able to offer this feature?
We have spk-js that has been built with this in mind, so any front end can be able to upload and view files with little effort.
You can do this now at dlux.io drive section. (Though it's not running on spk-js yet)
Great. So can frontends implement this now?
We are trying to implement it into 3Speak with little success so far. Im sure Disregard will help @kesolink to make something of this in the new release, but as of yet, we aren't able to implement it
I would love to get this project into GA! That what this proposal is for.
I will not be engaging in unpaid, platform specific work though. If you'd like to bring this project to fruition and integration, I'd recommend re-blogging this post, voting for and advocating for this proposal.
This comment probably is an accurate reflection of how the community feels. Hope we can find a way to progress
