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:
Inability to create worker proposal via the GUI.(Bitshares-UI issue raised! --> 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 we'll successfully recruit developers. Thoughts?
Writing up BSIPs 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 to get action going on new features.
Case and point, I still need to write up a BSIP for 'Earning interest/dividends on bitassets' (The forum post has 3000+ views and 9 pages!)

Could we update the Bitshares roadmap? The last entry in the current roadmap on the official bitshares website is Feb 2016.
