ZecHub: Open Source Education

Update: On Wednesday, Jan 25, the ZCG committee voted via Signal and unanimously approved the ZecHub grant proposal.

Jason recapped this grant. At the last meeting, the committee discussed Dismad’s ZecHub proposal. He has withdrawn that proposal and, along with Jason Rogers and Tokitoki, has submitted a new proposal that’s more about ZecHub broadly and not just his role. The proposal seeks to grow Zcash’s open-source education hub and onboard more contributors to Zcash. Their deliverables include an easy-to-understand Zcash wiki, a weekly newsletter, educational materials, wallet tutorials, user guides, and onboarding docs. The total amount they’re requesting is $71,592. That breaks down to a total of $53,000 to the three main contributors, approximately $12,000 to open-source bounties, and the rest to legal and organizational costs. Although too early to vote, Jason asked for feedback from the committee. Brian felt generally optimistic about this grant and liked the vision. Cody said he likes this grant proposal and the grassroots/educational aspect. Amber said she liked the idea of consistent momentum; the educational part could be valuable. Michael noted that he liked to fund a team and the creativity of bounties; however, he saw this as a notion document but could very well warm up to it. He also added his support for Jason Rogers as a person and the work he has done. Jason expressed his support of this grant and was excited to see what Ian and the other contributors do next with funding. Jason suggested holding a mobile vote midweek so the applicants can start work sooner and not have to wait for after next ZCG meeting on Feb 6. The committee agreed.

Zcash Education Contributor (dismad8)

ZCG to get on a call with ZecHub before resubmitting their more holistic proposal. Then, the committee will vote at the next meeting.

Jason recapped this proposal from Dismad. This grant is for $40,800 for him to serve as the Zcash Education Contributor, primarily focused on ZecHub, where he’ll write tutorials, oversee the GitHub repo, recruit other members to join the DAO, manage all ZecHub socials, etc. Jason added that over the weekend, Ian from ECC (who started ZecHub) messaged ZCG on the forum and said he’d been speaking with Dismad and Jason Rogers, the two primary contributors to ZecHub, about withdrawing this grant and submitting a more holistic ZecHub-focused grant instead. Jason stated that he supports a ZecHub-focused grant and feels that ZecHub has been a valuable resource for the Zcash community and has a lot of untapped potential that it can achieve with proper funding. He added that he would like this grant to include a clear articulation of their long-term vision and how they intend to increase engagement. He asked for the committee’s thoughts. Brian stated that he was less concerned about low engagement because what ZecHub offers could be considered “timeless.” Amber added that she would be more inclined to fund a project over a person. Michael stated that he would also like a more holistic proposal. He noted that the ask is very high for what is being offered and would be more inclined to approve if there was a more precise vision from the applicant. Cody added that he liked the concept of ZecHub and the community effort behind it and would like this proposal to be more holistic. Jason asked for Dan’s thoughts. Dan disclosed that he is involved with ZecHub, & that he is a multi-sig holder for the DAO. Dan added his support to ZecHub and felt it had a lot of potential. He mentioned that ZecHub would be meeting on January 11 and that he would join. Jason suggested that after the ZecHub DAO meeting, ZCG and ZecHub (including Ian, Dismad, Jason Rogers, and Tokidoki) should get on a call before they submit the new proposal.
