I will maintain Revuo Monero (https://www.revuo-xmr.com/) for the next 3 months (2025 Q1): January, February and March. 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.
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. About 24-25 of them had their maintenance and editorial work funded through the CCS, for 2024 Q3 and Q4; now looking to get funding secured for 2025 Q1 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.
[WIP] Moneroj.net maintenance and enhancements. Almost ready for relaunch/announcement, under Revuo's umbrella, as Revuo Moneroj.
# Proposal
I will publish weekly issues (4 per month, average) at a rate of $120 / issue. Using MA10 - Moving Average 10 (10 days) of ~$191 / XMR at the time of writing this proposal, this makes for **8 XMR** (~7.5392++...) [(120 * 4) * 3 = $1440) to be split in three (3) monthly milestones. Rounding ~7.5392++... XMR to 8 XMR even to cover for price votatility between Work In Progress phase and progressive milestone(s) payouts.
