Hi Hive account@howo, Your work and dedication over all these years are undeniable and evident. Especially over the last two years, which I’ve had the opportunity to witness during my still brief time here. (I even voted for your proposal from last year).

The fact is, times have changed, and proposals seeking funding from the DHF deserve a clearer presentation. Not to question the value and merit of this proposal, mind you.

Right after the last fork and HiveFest, there was talk of creating a single prototype/template for submitting applications to the DHF. It turns out that to date, we haven’t seen it yet. (It may have slipped my mind.) But proposals continue to be submitted just as they have been in recent years. I am not questioning the seriousness of each one, but the lack of rigor in the presentation leads to unfair judgments.

Since in my professional work I am accustomed to applying for public and private funding, I am sharing with you a suggested prototype/template, with essential items for submitting proposals for DHF funding.

I am convinced that if proposals are presented with rigor, everything becomes easier to understand and maintains a healthy environment.

If you clarify items 13 and 14, you can count on my humble vote. Because based on what I read in the publication, and knowing your work, I can fit all the other items into the template I suggested.
