Build WADA a solid, scalable, distributed, proof of concept system/ Dapp from the ground up using Servant Server, Haskell, and Elm.

Problem:

WADA's capacity is currently limited by their web app capacity. They need their own solid integrated management system to optimize activity.

This proposal will cover Phase 2 of the proposal from Fund 4: Full details here: https://cardano.ideascale.com/a/dtd/+WADA-Outreach=Smart-Catalyst-Users/341675-48088 Purpose of the Proposal First: Finalize first iteration of WADA's internal integrated management system. Our team of highly skilled developers can complete this phase 2 for the web app in an additional 3 months if funding is available. This gives WADA a tool to streamline / optimize its proposal outreach mission, and therefore make Project Catalyst more accessible and understandable to new users they bring in. Next: Team for research and development of DAG has been set from phase 1. Now real research will start to delve into the complexities of category theory and type level programming and how it applies back to Plutus. Project Description This proposal covers not only the direct application of Cardano Blockchain core components such as Servant Server, Haskell, Plutus, and Elm into concrete action by creating this integrated management system, but serves as a learning journey for a whole network of developers; driving them towards a bright future in IT. One aspect of WADA's integrated management system that we will create with Plutus is a crowdfunding platform for our membership schemes allowing clear visibility and follow-up on contributions using metadata. Once successful this will be easily replicated to Project Catalyst's platform in terms of the follow-up component for funding as well as offering a model for distributed decision making in how projects get funded. Success looks like 3 Months: WADA Integrated management system is fully operational. Website becomes a gateway for proposers in Project Catalyst. 6 Months: Alternative community crowdfunding platform built with Plutus with follow-up component with metadata history and more direct involvement for all stakeholders (similar to Guanxi but more decentralized and distributed guanxi-invest.com) that can therefore be shared to other platforms such as Project Catalyst to optimize their donation/contribution cycle. 1 year: Most of WADA's processes will be automated and decentralized. We will be transitioning to structuring WADA as a DAO. Developer Team requirements for this phase: Team: DITC + WADA Network developers 3 Web developers (Elm) 3 Graphic designers 7 Haskell, Elm, Plutus developers (1 is currently enrolled in Plutus pioneer program) 1 Artificial Intelligence PhD 1 Mathematician 1 Tokenomics expert Funding requested will go towards motivations for 3 months Senior developer motivations 5 @ $2 K each = $10K Other dev/expert council motivations $2K Partners and Collaborators WADA West Africa Decentralized Alliance is a fast growing community in West and other parts of Africa and the Diaspora. By supporting the "building of an integrated management system from the ground up…," we hope to provide a one-stop platform where our incoming leaders can quickly access information and other resources to easily onboard into Project Catalyst and ultimately Voltaire. Not only does WADA help onboard proposers, but they educate about distributed ledger technology and more specifically Cardano. They are heavily focusing their outreach on making Project Catalyst more accessible to newcomers by thoroughly explaining and supporting the processes from the submission through the voting stage. WADA's outreach is currently limited by their website capacity. Providing the resources to them to make a solid web app/ integrated management system is key to keeping their momentum, and spreading Cardano philosophy throughout Africa. DITC Distruptive IT Cameroon is the rebranding of our IT company iServices SARL which was founded in Cameroon in 2017 with five passionate technical and business people. We are in the process of re-branding as a way of merging with WADAs Blockchain Hubs for Solution Design. The core team consists of two senior software architects and developers with strong foundations in functional programming, specifically Haskell and currently working through the new Plutus program. We also have one senior UX web designer. In addition to this throughout the years we have taken on several apprentices and local university students to learn with us and work on projects as they come along. We have lined up several verbal agreements in order to establish a team ready for this specific project with WADA. We will continue to work without funding as a passion project but we will be able to fully engage the full team if funding is granted.
