Weekly Bounty Report

This is a report that gives a status update on bounties.

Notes

• The network crashed and because of this a number of proposals for bounties went without votes or were left in limbo. Some of these have been resubmitted.

• The council still hasn't developed an effetive method of taking the bounties announced by Jsgenesis and agreeing on changes before they are announced to the platform. This has been partially addressed by the Council Bounty Management proposal (https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/168)

Bounty documents

These files are required to be kept up to date so that the current status of bounties is accurately communicated to all actors on the platform.

  • This is currently up to date - The newest bounties (14, 15, 16) will be added once the new council is elected.

Bounty Overview

This table gives a brief overview of the status of each bounty. Since bounties all have different requirements and cover different types of work, some may require a process to hire an admin before they can become "live".

Council adapted refers to the Council taking a Jsgenesis bounty and adapting it via the process described in this proposal: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/historical/168

Bounty processes

Bounty processes are Github issues or forum threads that can be used to develop any processes required for managing bounties. It is important these processes pass through the governance process eventually and are improved upon over time. The goal of mentioning these processes in the report is so that people are aware of them and that they can be adapted, reused or improved upon which will make it easier for any future bounties.
