According to Foresight News, the Filecoin Foundation announced the launch of Metropolis, a temperature check and crowdsourcing voting tool, to enhance the governance of the Filecoin network. The tool was developed in collaboration with Canvas Technologies. Metropolis allows community members to more easily share their views on Filecoin Improvement Proposals (FIPs) using "positive" or "negative" descriptors to express their overall feelings about the proposal.
The goal of the tool is to provide a temperature check so that FIP authors and core developers can get an earlier understanding of the community’s overall preference for certain proposals, which will help governance administrators more accurately steer the resources required for proposals and ideas. Metropolis can also be used to support the conduct of community crowdsourced polls.
