GK:
i dont think the budget will be expanded however
I doubt it too, considering the criticism we receive despite being overall and per contributor on average the lowest spend for the DAO… and certainly not with a low workload either.
Markus:
Provide a clear business plan in the proposal (What WS is doing now is great. I have no doubt there is more to come. But what will the team do in the new era?)
“What WS is doing now” is provided for context, to show we did deliver on many promises, and also to show some of them were not fulfiled yet (or reachable given the market conditions or difficult to measure effectively).
But what will the team do in the new era?)
I’m sorry to repeat myself, but what in the “Goals” and “Execution Goals” sections is not matching what you demand here. Do you need more details, metrics?
If there are any events you will/need to participate in during this 6 month period, include them with budgets.
This is fair enough, I personally am not invested a lot in live events, I follow the calendar when the calls happen and they announce them. But if there is one right now, I totally agree with you, they should be in the proposal, budget included (including the things our contributors usually have to pay from their own pocket because we work on a very limited budget). @thesmith Any input on this specific point to include in the proposal?
I believe that even the amount translators are paid per word should be he
It could, currently my understanding is that is included in the Office fees because the total spend varies a lot depending on how many features require new/updated strings during the term. But acknowledging that we do have this recurrent variable spend for languages not handled by translators with a fix compensation, we could list the rate, agreed.
