Draft of a potential bounty proposal template.
Please add your comments below!
Bounty Proposal Template
Bounties are open-ended goals that could be met by anyone, including those other than the proposing party.
- If you believe that something important should be done at Arrow and you are willing and able to do it - write a grant application
- If you believe that something important should be done at Arrow but you are not willing and/or able to do it yourself - write a bounty proposal and/or definition (it will get posted on the bounty wall)
The goals of the Bounty Proposal are:
- to communicate your bounty idea clearly so that the GBC can decide if it’s worth pursuing.
- to estimate the benefits and costs attached to your proposal.
- to disclose any relevant conflicts of interest.
Answers to the template questions do not need to be highly detailed. Estimates or ranges are acceptable. Brief answers are also fine.

I’ll convert it into a google application form.
