<u>We want to make bounty record publicly available on the website, we are also considering submitting the data to the blockchain.</u>
<u>Visitors</u>
Site usage is another live statistic that we would like to include on the site. A KPI to watch would be month on month growth of users of the site. It's difficult to put a hard number, it depends on the growth of the catalyst community as a whole.
<u>Relevance</u>
Search engine results - We want to maintain our high results in search engines for relevant topics. We are currently on the first page of results, usually in top 5. <u>We want to maintain our relevance</u>
<u>Efficiency</u>
We would be looking at ensuring that a bulk of the funds got to community members from outside the steering team. However, internal bounties will be created when necessary and long term open bounties can also be claimed but the steering team to ensure development is continued at pace. <u>At least 80% of bounties done by way of external bounties</u>
<u>Transparency</u>
The setting of bounties is currently done by the steering team but will be explored how to adjust this over time. A bounty can be set in consultation with the implementer and room is viable for them to be adjusted should the estimated bounty be set too low.
We aim to improve the transparency by <u>providing reasoning for each bounty.</u>
<u>Engagement</u>
We are activating community members and engaging developers, serving as a gateway into the ecosystem. If someone wants to contribute and earn some ADA, they need to learn about Cardano and go through the process of creating a wallet.
We want to engage <u>at least 1 new developer per week</u>. (4 per month)
<u>Bounty Interface & Process</u>
Deliverable: We want to have a well defined and documented bounty system with a MVP implementation so implementation of bounties is streamlined and automated as much as possible. This includes a way for the community to influence the bounty level (ADA).
<u>User Satisfaction</u>
We want to add a simple way for readers of the website to grade their experience with the website/ article and submit improvement suggestions.
<u>80% user satisfactions score (4/5) is our goal.</u>
We want to meet all our goals within th 3-6 months horizon.
Public availability
The site is already public, updates from bounties are applied as soon as they are done by the bounty hunter.
Bounty system is currently publicly available through github.
Budget Breakdown
Internal maintenance/development payments up to (we will aim to make this as low as possible): $3000
These include things like administration, bounty setting, tracking, management of bounty hunters, general management of the site.
Publicly available bounties: $7000
These are the bounties that will be decided by the community, and solved by the community. A mechanism might exist where long term open bounties will be picked up by an internal dev team to ensure that the site development continues.
