2. User Acquisition/Onboarding Tooling
GitHub Migration
The following tooling is being built to help automate users’ migration of repos from GitHub to Radicle. The main goal here is to improve user onboarding.
In Progress
Quarterly Objectives Updates
Original Org Application: https://radicle.community/t/formal-review-rgp-13-start-the-grants-org/3305
Quarterly Goals
Recruiting
Objective: onboard grantees to more permanent work within the Radicle ecosystem.
Results: Yorgos’s team had made strong headway, with consistent grants on a month-over-month basis. There are some conversations about Yorgos’ team starting their own org or onboarding to the Radicle Org, both of which we’re supportive of.
Dogfooding
Objective:
- Switch 100% of grants over to Drips
- Switch 100% of our documents over to Radicle (code collab)
Results:
- 100% of our grants this quarter have been funded with Drips.
- We have not switched our repository over to Radicle. We plan on dogfooding the GitHub Migration tool once that grant is completed.
Drip to Dependencies
Objective: allocate 4% (40,000 USDC) of budget to Drips balance + drip to 4 dependencies as outlined here
Results: we completed this as part of the Radworks Drip Proposal that funded the Drips here.
Community Input for Grants
Objective: integrate with GitCoin Round Manager or some other quadratic vote/funding mechanism to open some % of our budget to community input for grant funding.
Results: still researching GitCoin and others like CharmVerse. Looking to test these out post-ETHCC.
Timeline & Budget Update (include in written update only)
We have roughly 300,000 USDC left as of today (Oct 4). With the in-progress and upcoming grants, we are likely to run out of funds in roughly 3 months. So the 2024 Org Proposal schedule is…right on schedule.
