Thank you for your submission! We really appreciate it. Like many open source projects, we ask that you sign our Contributor License Agreement before we can accept your contribution.

Thanks for the application, @xcavate2022. Someone will look into it more closely soon. In the meantime, could you

• sign the CLA,
• host the images elsewhere? We prefer to keep the repo to the documents only. Easiest is to just paste the images into the Github editor.
• Can you remove the application text from the PR and replace it with our filled out PR template?
• What does "Level: 1 = $10000" mean? At 300k, this is a Level 3 grant application.

Thanks for your comments Sebastian

Can you please clarify where the CLA is? done done I was told that we can apply for the initial grant then reapply for more if required… or would you just recommend we adjust and go direct to level 3?

Best Regards,

Richard

Follow the link posted by the CLAAssistant in the comment above. All commit authors need to sign it.

Absolutely. However, your application currently lists a total cost of USD 307,200 and milestones with higher cost than 10k. So it is not clear what work the 10k would go towards. If these are the total costs of your project but you only want to apply for a small part of it, please write the application so that it is clear what it is you want to deliver as part of the grant.

Given the size of the project you are describing, please also keep in mind that all work funded by a W3F grant needs to be open source and useful for the ecosystem as a whole, so no proprietary dependencies.

I’m closing this for now. Let me know if you want to re-open it.
