being a witness is a technical job. it is well paid for a reason.
if there's witnesses who are "non technical "they should be replaced or they'll end up slowing down such projects.
witnesses who can't run an IPFS node should step down.
In a future post you should indicate a list of witnesses who you believe can help the project move forward and the community will vote for them.

Introducing DTube: a decentralized video platform using STEEM and IPFS
I both agree and disagree at the same time. While it is true the top witnesses should be technical if we want to ensure things work well.
However, witnesses also have some kind of political power on STEEM, choosing if a fork gets applied or not (I believe 70% of the top-20 needs to agree for a fork to take place), and technical people can be retarded in this aspect.
I am not a witness and I don't plan to be one, ever.

there are plenty of technical people on steemit who also have a brain for political stuff.
in one of your posts you could explain in detail how to setup an IPFS node and we'll see who's capable. then the community may decide to support some of the technically capable also depending on their reputation and political stances.
Non-technical witnesses should hire techies if they want to keep their spot. with the proliferation of projects on the steem blockchain technical knowledge is vital.

This is part of the plan. I want to give tools and easier way for people to do it thought. Security is a concern and I don't want people having problems because they misconfigure something. @nannal is a tech guy and managed to setup things so that there is no problem, while I'm sure a lot of people would rush it, open too many things in their firewall or ipfs node config and end up having problems.
I will post about it in the coming month, it's part of my list of upcoming articles on my paper list
