Gitcoin Grants 22 (GG22) OSS Eligibility Criteria

[mars]

@wasabi

but the information is public (this was your original concern)

Of course the information in the checker is public. That was never a concern, that was never the “original” concern (additional qualifying word).

When writing “after the application though” - I meant my personal use case - dealing with the appeal process. The checker wasn’t in my flow during the grant editing or round application, only after the application was final.

@mars

I used the word “feedback” in a different context.

And then explained in the human intelligence prompt what type of feedback I mean.

@wasabi

neutral feedback about the grant proposal based on the criteria

I think it is worth highlighting the difference:

• human intelligence feedback
• AI checker feedback base on the criteria

Dropping alpha. Meta-rule: changing rules.

Something that observed during GG22:

@MathildaDV

and at least two partner team members who will act as reviewers or assist in managing the round

@MathildaDV

At least two additional team members with previous experience to run a round?

It made me reflect about game-theory of changing rules. It works only once, then the element of surprise is gone and by default you assume that the rules are changing.

GG22 for active projects, not zombies that updated readme.md

@mars

Enough to update the readme.md for the purpose of the GG22 and 3 out of 4 is already accomplished.

I think that the hackathon round (and other rounds) should promote projects that are actively developed.

@MathildaDV

Activity on more than 20 days in the previous 90 days

That should be a baseline acceptance criterium.

Another criterium that is not covered: amount of issues opened by the amount of different GitHub users.

(of course not the only metric, part of comprehensive suite of metrics to weed out zombie projects)

Community size and activity: amount of Twitter reactions and Telegram messages.

(analytics is unlikely to be public, Web3 projects are privacy orientated, but the traffic on Twitter / Telegram / Discord / Reddit is a decent proxy for the user base)
