UPDATE: The core team is no longer seeking funding for this proposal. I have already communicated to the core team to vote against and it is no longer passing, so no need to take any action, but please don't vote for this proposal.
The original intent was to use the funds that were unallocated at the time to pre-fund this expense. Since it was submitted, a couple of community proposals have garnered additional support, so we risked trampling some quality community proposals with this non-urgent need. We will seek funding for this proposal, therefore, in a future period.
Now that things appear settled on the funding for the month, I plan to submit a smaller proposal to the network today to put the remaining funds to good use based on the new rankings.
This is a cross-post from www.dashwhale.org/p/crdev-docwiki-201608
Overview of the proposal:
As the project continues to mature, we are seeking to operate in an increasingly professional manner. One critical aspect of a technology-centric project like Dash is offering professionally written software documentation. This proposal seeks funding to hire part-time contracted technical writers to properly document our core software and ensure our documentation is up-to-date throughout the development of 12.2 DashDrive (which extends from August to March).
By contracting highly competent technical writers throughout the process, we can both offload these responsibilities from programmers (thus accelerating development) and ensure high quality documentation for new developer onboarding, reference material for business partners seeking to integrate Dash, and assurance to investors that demand a high-quality project.
This proposal is a one-time expense for the duration of 12.2 development. The estimated cost totals $4,400.00 for the entire period. This one-time request approach will allow us to hire technical writers as needed over the project period without submitting multiple related proposals.
EDIT: Removed references to "wiki" because it was causing confusion... some were inferring incorrectly that this was simply updating our existing wiki as opposed to creating programmer reference material. Apologies for the confusion.
Requested funding is as follows for the August 5th budget cycle:
Note: Any unused funds from this core development budget will be directed toward other core development expenses.
