There is a chance I may skip one week to tend to real life issues, in such case, next issue will just cover 2 weeks instead of the usual 1, which usually translates to reporting 3 issues instead of average 4 for milestones, this is usually to report on the 4 weeks each month usually has; at times, there have been 5 issues covering the month instead of 4 or 3. Goes both ways. + +Tasks: + +- Daily/weekly: search, curate, structure and publish new issues. +- As Needed: make sure the website is live and working as expected (server maintenance, billing, etc.) +- As Needed: cover code enhancements/fixes expenses, sysadmin consultations and additional Revuo tools/services for the community. + +# Who + +rottenwheel, I joined the Monero community some time in 2017 by jumping into IRC, attending some Workgroup meetings, volunteering at the Monero village at DEFCON 28 in 2019 (https://redlib.zaggy.nl/r/Monero/comments/cqegma/monero_village_defcon_2019_report/), participating in community events and being involved with other community-driven, smaller projects. + +As a proof of work for this specific proposal, I have, since January 2022 until now, written more than two hundred (200) weekly issues of the Revuo Monero newsletter, the first five (5) first published and hosted at [LocalMonero](https://localmonero.co/revuo) and the rest, 200++, were published in current Revuo's self-hosted website. More than 20 of them had their maintenance and editorial work funded through the CCS, since 2024 Q3; now looking to get funding secured for 2025 Q2 with this proposal. Beyond that, I have completed and deployed the following enhancements: + +Up to this point, all efforts behind Revuo Monero's comeback after Diego "rehrar" Salazar was let go and Revuo Monero's publication was paused for a few months, include but are not limited to: + +- Light/dark theme with a toggle button (mostly in CSS/HTML, minimizing the reliance in JavaScript as much as possible; site loads everything just fine in Tor browser with strict security mode on.) +- Support and Source Code sections added. +- RSS and Support icons. +- Google fonts removed. +- Twitter profile set up and posting new issues every week automatically, which often get reposted via @monero main account. Twitter: https://nitter.poast.org/revuoxmr +- Addition of RM's group chats and social media profile links at the bottom of hamburger menu. Nostr, X, XMPP, Matrix, SimpleX and IRC. +- Revuo Calc. See: https://calc.revuo-xmr.com/ // Source code: https://github.com/rottenwheel/moner.ooo/ +- Unfortunately, still [WIP] Moneroj.net maintenance and enhancements. Almost ready for relaunch/announcement, under Revuo's umbrella, as Revuo Moneroj. Widely used on the subreddit and other XMR-adjacent communities often, as I've seen the link in the wild more than once. + +# Proposal + +I will publish weekly issues (4 per month, average) at a rate of $120 / issue. Using MA10 - Moving Average 10 (10 days) of ~$211 / XMR at the time of writing this proposal, this makes for **7 XMR** (~6.8246++...) [(120 * 4) * 3 = $1440) to be split in three (3) monthly milestones. Rounding ~6.8246++... XMR to 7 XMR even to cover for price votatility between Work In Progress phase and progressive milestone(s) payouts.
