Project Description
|
||||
|
||||
The goal of this project is to develop a new, robust, and user-friendly platform for submitting and managing proposals within the Monero Community Crowdfunding System (CCS). The platform will be developed in phases to ensure incremental value delivery and to facilitate feedback and collaboration from the community.

|

The table presents a breakdown of project costs in both XMR and USD for various milestones. Each milestone includes funds allocated in both XMR and USD, documentation costs in XMR and USD, estimated actual support in USD and XMR, as well as standby support in USD and XMR. The total project cost is $73,327.46 USD, equivalent to 523.63 XMR at today's exchange rate of $139.20 USD = 1 XMR.
|
||||
|
||||
Payment can be in XMR at the prevailing exchange rate for the milestone’s Total USD on the date the milestone is approved for development by the community.
|
||||
|
||||
Whilst this outline is an estimate of the expected work involved, each milestone can be re-negotiated by either party (developer/manger or the community) on completion of the previous milestone.
|
||||
|
||||
The total estimated project timespan is 18 months.
|
||||
|
||||
Expiration date: 2 years after the start date (first milestone approval date). Delivered milestones will not be refundable, but there will be no obligation, on either side of the agreement, to move to the next milestone until the previous one has been signed off by the Community. If the sign-off process involves delays, timelines above will need to be adjusted accordingly.
|
||||
|
||||
Expectations: Reasonably prompt (within 24 hours) assistance from relevant community members when required, especially for aspects that block the overall development process and/or are critical to support.
|
||||
|
||||
I suggest that provisions for ongoing support beyond the project delivery itself are negotiated separately at that time when considerably more experience in working with and for the community will have been accumulated on both sides of the contract and the nature of the relationship will be more fully established and understood.
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that conditions of the agreement include that Elm be used as the framework for the web development and that BDD (Behaviour Driven Development)/TDD (Test Driven Development) be used as the primary software development methodologies. Developer/project manager should have final say over the tech stack that is used although this can be agreed before work starts on the next milestone.
