Scope

This radar covers everything in the Gratipay organization that is not covered by another radar.

Roadmap

Short Term

Embarrassments:

• not using immutable ids (use id as primary key instead of username gratipay.com#835)
• widgets are broken (Widgets for Gratipay 2.0)
• escrow imprecision (Radar 31 #389 (comment))
• no payroll! bring back take-what-you-want gratipay.com#3433 (Payroll)
• Team and ~user pages are the same Differentiate participants and projects gratipay.com#3852

Long Term

Color code:

• red—external forces that we're under
• yellow—administration
• green—product development
• orange—marketing
• blue—capitalization

I'm gonna try and load up on COS hours this week, so I have more flexibility for #448 next week.

Targets

1. Bring back payroll for Gratipay itself.
2. Product ... and Marketing:
   1. 1,000 open companies on Gratipay
   2. One open company receiving at least $1,000 per week on Gratipay
   3. 100 open companies receiving at least $1,000 per week on Gratipay
   4. One open company receiving at least $10,000 per week on Gratipay
   5. 100 open companies receiving at least $10,000 per week on Gratipay

Remember

Our mission is to cultivate an economy of gratitude, generosity, and love. The way we're pursuing that is through this idea of open companies. We are building viable open businesses, we are building viable open businesses, we are building viable open businesses.

I'm evaluating GitBook for The Gratipay Guide to Running an Open Organization. Lookin' pretty slick so far!

Eep! 😳

[chadwhitacre]

Okay, we do get versioning as well as i18n. 👍

[chadwhitacre]

Though we could also use $lang.gratipay.guide for translations.

Alright, future Gratipay Guide conversation in its repo: https://github.com/gratipay/guide.

[chadwhitacre]

Okay! Read "Sail 25" this morning, did a French lesson. Now:

• Payday 199 (run Gratipay 199 #547)
• deal with chargebacks (deal with first chargebacks from Braintree #548)
• process unclear security risks (Security Radar 5 #546)

But first, some COS hours ...

[chadwhitacre]

... or conversing with @elliottw about Catapult governance and operations. :-)

Payday ...

When you allow [] hostile people in your community you exclude people who won't tolerate them.

^^^ This struck me, because I kinda agree with what he's trying to say (it's close to the sentiment behind team review for brand fit) ... but calling people names isn't nice. 😞 Such a thin line we're trying to tread!
