Someone has to proxy for the people in Freenet (FMS, Sone, FLIP, Frost¹). > https://gist.github.com/sanity/4cf3b1c3484bdb9926d71bc9c4fc0341 > Thoughts? The intro shows values from 1 to 100, the later description uses 1 to 1000. I do not think 1000 points are useful in terms of limited volunteer time resources. How about making it 20? This then requires explicitly *not* putting any value on certain tasks, which is the most important decision to take here: What do we *not* need to do right now? As cost-metric I would suggest using full-time person-weeks. Reasons: - We have money for ~20 of these. That’s a number we can easily handle. - Cost is very different from salary (by roughly factor 2). Time isn’t. - Any feature which looks like it could be implemented in one day is likely implementable within one week. - $5000 sounds like a lot. But it’s just 4 full-time person-weeks for the people who already know about Freenet — others would have to get into the code first, so the price per feature would be similar. - There is no task which is worth the time to describe it here which can be finished in less than a week. If it can be done in less than a week, we should just do it right away instead of discussing how much time it requires. Finally: The text is far too long. A description for the method needs to fit on a 14pt A5 page. Best wishes, Arne ¹: Yes, Frost people are part of Freenet, too. -- Unpolitisch sein heißt politisch sein ohne es zu merken
