Improving spending_proposal_categories.csv

Current Process & Problems

We monitor new spending proposal and add them to this file: https://github.com/Joystream/community-repo/blob/master/governance/spending_proposal_categories.csv Only spending proposals are tracked and this is a manual process.

Solution

A script needs to be created that can fill in the values from all proposals and output them in a CSV format that is compatible with the preexisting CSV. This new script should include the following information:

• Proposal number (this should start at 1)
• Author name
• Proposal Title
• Proposal Type
• Proposal Description (not 100% sure about whether this is worth including or not)
• Proposal outcome (Executed, ExecutionFailed, Rejected, Slashed, Withdrawn etc)
• Proposal amount (this includes both spending proposals + mint proposals)
• Actual spending from spending proposal (if a proposal asks for 5m tJOY and is not approved, it has not actually spent 5m)--in this case this amount would be 0
• If a spending proposal--what was the recipient address. (and member name as a separate field)
• Blockheight submitted
• Blockheight executed/failed/expired/withdrawn)
• DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM proposal was submitted using GMT (this should be in a format that Google Sheets can interpret as a time code
• If the proposal is expired or withdrawn -- how much stake was burned?
• Number of approve/abstain/reject/slash votes for each proposal (it is unclear if this information would be that easy to get)
• Maybe also which council term the proposal was created in and which one it was executed within.
• The voting period (i.e. for a text proposal this is 72000 blocks
• If at all possible--the exchange rate at the time of submission (this one might be too complex to deal with?)

ALTERNATIVE: make the script output a JSON on joystreamstats and run the script every 6-12 hours. This is the more preferable option as it means that the person maintaining the categories of proposals (myself) does not need to maintain a node.

Reason/Purpose

There is currently no way on the Joystream Leaderboard to generate data from proposals, we have a limited amount of information available from tokenomic and council reports, but this doesn't go deep enough into things to see the big picture.

This is now intended to be implemented into the Joystreamstats API (https://api.joystreamstats.live/) therefore the CSV requirement is no longer relevant.
