I will work full-time (480 hours total) on Cuprate for 3 months.
This CCS is intentionally open-ended. I will work on whatever is most needed for Cuprate at the time, in close coordination with @Boog900.
Planned scope includes, depending on project priority:
Currently, the most likely focus is helping with RPC work.
- Core Cuprate development tasks needed to move the project forward
- Bug fixing, testing, benchmarking, and performance work
- Code review and contributor support
- Documentation and release-related work where needed
Priority and task selection will be guided by current Cuprate needs rather than a fixed single deliverable.
I will provide milestone reports with completed work, time spent, and next priorities.
