My funding needs are simply based on the past two years - it takes a certain number of hours a month to properly maintain the hapi core module. This includes bug fixes, security patches, and feature requests. I don't have any new features or architectural work that I can describe as the objective of such a grant. To measure success, it would basically mean to still find the project well-maintained and secure to Mozilla's standards to keep using it. Since I have not heard directly from anyone using hapi at Mozilla since the first couple of months it was adopted, I have no idea what features might be desired.
I've read the examples provided and they both include specific deliverables. I cannot produce such a list because the work needed isn't predictable. It's just what is needed to keeping up with the community. hapi core has 16 releases in 2016, including 5 major versions. I am not sure how to go about this given that there are no specific goals. I don't want to make stuff up and there are no new features or work to list. It's incremental work to maintain the project's quality, and it's time consuming...

Well I'd certainly be happy to help with the "offer feedback on draft ideas" part and then see where things go from there :-) Cheers, Ryan > On Tue, Jan 3, 2017 at 9:53 PM, Ryan Kelly <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > On 28/12/16 08:41, Jared Hirsch wrote: > > Hi FxA list, > > > > I'm looking for Mozilla staff interested in acting as the 'internal > > champion' for a hapi.js MOSS[1] grant application. > > > > The 'internal champion' duties are, briefly: vouch for the project + > > proposal; act as liaison between Mozilla and the project; if funded, > > monitor & report on the outcomes.
