Applicant requests funding to upgrade Zaino from prototype to production-grade quality, with regular interval innovation releases and adaptive hotfix releases as the primary deliverables. Requesting $200,000. Gguy: ZCG recognizes the importance of Zaino and wants to ensure this team is funded through the upcoming releases. This grant will hopefully get us to the finish line while ZCG continues to discuss the best path forward for maintenance funding in the future. Decentralistdan: approve.
