To clarify, what does "from the start of implementation" mean? Maybe you can actually add a date to the application or something like that.

[liangjh]

all - thanks for the feedback. i will add a start date on this -

[keeganquigley]

Thanks for adding the date @liangjh I will mark it as ready for review and ping the rest of the committee.

[Noc2]

Thanks for the update. To be honest, a starting date of June 2024 plus 8 months is a significant delay and I don't make sense to sign this already now. In this case, my recommendation is to cancel it, and if you are still interested in it you can reapply.

@liangjh echoing @Noc2's concerns, I agree that closing it for now is the better option. Especially since we've already signed some very similar projects that currently are in development, so the landscape is subject to change quickly within the next few months. Hence, I think it makes more sense to re-assess this proposal, once you're ready to implement it.

[Noc2]

Thanks again for creating the PR. The committee decided to go ahead and close it. We will also terminate the current grant, but you are more than welcome to apply again, once you want to work on the project.

Hi all, just got to the recent feedback this morning. Thank you for the feedback, and the comments in the initial review rounds for this proposal back last year.
I do have a question on this though, do you have a sense of what the review rounds will look like if we re-apply for this grant? Given that this propose (dot_etl) was already approved by the committee, would an enhanced or updated proposal pass through fairly quickly? We are still committed to the original thesis of extracting actionable and economically viable data from DOT / substrate.

@liangjh As you know, we've signed multiple grants related to the Analytics Website/Data Platform RFP. So whether I'd add my approval at the time you'd re-apply also depends on the maturity of similar tools and the additional value your solution would bring. However, that's just my opinion and doesn't necessarily reflect the opinion of other w3f grants committee members.
