CCS Coordinator
Who?
Hello, plowsof here, I show up and try to be helpful. My previous proposals happened, i would like to make it happen again, and do more of the same things.
What?
- Gather consensus for CCS proposals. (feedback from GitLab/IRC/Reddit).
- Organise bi-weekly meetings to discuss proposals / current events (more if necessary).
- Provide decisions in 1 month or less (Yes/No to being funded or if something has to be changed with the proposal to satisfy our community).
- Be impartial when communicating with CCS proposers - everyone gets a fair shake.
- Checking up on the WIP list to find / fix problems early (e.g. payments overdue or proposers AWOL).
- Take responsibility for the entire CCS process - It's my fault when 'things go wrong'.
- Someone who is online for several hours a day / 7 days a week that knows what's going on.
- Act as a liaison to Core - keep them informed of whats happening / poke them when required / handle their requests.
- As part of this CCS, you will also be sponsoring my work when quality assurance testing new features/bug fixes each release cycle in the GUI, CLI, and RPC wallets.
- And Getmonero.org contributions.
- Consultancy before / during / after the idea stage.
- Secretarial tasks for https://bounties.monero.social/ (requesting payouts upon completion of bounties and such)
Funding
20hr/week - 40 eur/hr with XMR at 126EUR (MA20 @ Kraken) gives 20 * 13 * (40/126) = 80.5 but i like 80.07 better so 26.69 XMR/milestone bringing the total requested amount to 80.07XMR. Maximum of 1 milestone can be claimed per month. Price fluctuation after moving to funding will have no effect. Consider this proposal expired in the event of my untimely death / unheard of for >5 months / have not claimed all payouts in 12 months. If expired - all remaining unclaimed funds are to be donated to other CCS proposals.

The bad
- I mean just look at it https://translate.getmonero.org/
- no onion url for ccs yet. Seems the best we can get is an onion for the funding-required/ideas page, not the gitlab.
- we're pushing >1month to a decision on some proposals https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests
- thankfully we have a new contributor vthor pushing to completion / attempting to take over the lack luster MoneroSigner proposal , and a qualified team interested in the Haveno-UI/mobile ux here but i had hoped to have seen more abandonned proposals resolved in this period.
Misc
- Testing webhooks on the CCS gitlab: I've added Emoji hooks to CptHook so that a notification is sent to me each time someone leaves an emoji reaction (up/down/poop doot you name it). This should help us view the overflow voters on proposals moving forward.
- Gitlab runners: pulled the proposal parsing scripts out of the ccs backend and put them into a pipeline that runs on every merge request https://gitlab.com/thatsnew/runners
- Historical CCS earnings: a script to correlate ccs payouts with the usd price of monero on that day to show some estimated earnings of contributors funded by the ccs CCS earning estimates
- CCS proposal form to help the beginners/regulars
- Investigate weblate/po4a for -site
- uncover issue with latest version so we're stuck at v0.69 po4a.
- begin moving po4a to github workflow/work through errors.

Notes:
- The -site workgroup plan to start from fresh which means translations will also. The time i spent on translations is still valuable as i can/have contributed to monero-docs in this area and will continue to do so for -site where needed.
- Contributed to monero-docs by bringing their proposed backend to the latest versions and (on-going) pulling in rpc docs from -site.
- Reduced the time of idea stage to decision for this period in comparison with the previous.
- I have taken on additional responsibilities, including merge rights for -site (though not in a maintainer role).
- This marks the end of my fourth proposal. one year* of community-funded contributions, for which I am deeply grateful.
Milestone 3 complete.
