The applicant has requested the discussion of the application to happen in a private chat room.

Thanks @caaaml and thanks for reducing the scope. Looks good to me now, so mark as ready for review and ping the rest of the committee to take a look.

Hey @caaaml, sorry for the long wait. On top of the many application, we also had the launch of the Decentralized Futures program, which brings about thoughts about the alignment of the grants program. As you know, we are keen on open source development, meaning that we have been happy to fund projects as long as they are open source. However, many of these projects have stalled or failed due to a lack of community, interest and/or long term vision. I'm worried that what you are building is too tightly coupled with your platform architecture to be useful by itself. Also, it is my impression that it requires a business model to maintain a data project/platform of this complexity long term. That being said, I am going to give my approval, in the hopes that your project will serve the community, bring new people and that you continue contributing to the ecosystem.

Hi @caaaml are you able to provide an update on milestone 1?

Hey @keeganquigley, sorry for the delay - we wanted to make sure everything works well and you can access a live demo of the delivery to check it out. Tomorrow we will deliver both milestones with an additional demo instance.
