We are addressing the challenge in order to support new developers in the space, ensure the framework expedites the necessary learning while also encouraging co-creation and collaboration within the existing community instead of the individualized directive which often results in burnout/overwhelm.

 

Mini proposals would increase accessibility, allow new entries into the system in smaller chunks so that individuals can experience success and ramp up while exploring the ecosystem, building relationships with other participants, and accomplishing necessary tasks faster than in the traditional proposal format.

Defining Success The experiments and processes we try will help to carry proposer projects forward. We hope to design new ways to collaborate together.

 

KPI - we are going to measure: Project Catalyst aims to fund over 1000 proposals. There is no limit to the size or amount of funds that have to be requested. Smaller proposals help us reach the 1000 funded projects. The goal is to fund around 10 proposals.

 

We will keep an eye on how many unique developers help with mini-proposals. I hope to see as many developers as there are mini-proposals.

 

We look at how long it takes to create quality mini-proposals. Reduce the proposal creation overall time several hours. For example, first, the mini-proposal took me 7 hours.

 

How we do mini-proposals We train proposers to write good mini-proposals, which will lead to a better understanding of what needs to be built.

We have created a mini-proposal guide to help create useful proposals. Currently, we have the mini-proposal design on the Miro Board.

The below mini-proposals are independent of this proposal, these are the first experimental outcomes from the mini-proposal model: https://cardano.ideascale.com/a/dtd/PCDiscord-Bot-to-create-channels/352780-48088 https://cardano.ideascale.com/a/dtd/PCDiscord-Bot-to-Assign-Roles/352779-48088

 

Roadmap This process starts as soon as we get funded. In 3 months all the first experimental mini-proposals will be operating. By the 6 month mark, we are expediting the fund and project success process. In 12 months we have thematically analyzed for the skill sets people have when collaborating on mini-proposals.

 

Budget 900$ per team member and 10000$ treasury to fund mini-proposals
