First up - everyone I spammed. Apologies for not laying out a clear invitation. Whoops! What I had meant to ask was if you had specific questions, queries or worries about this application.

From my end I think one of the main questions that I would have would be:

"What is the hourly rate?"

From the grants details outlined here

Each grant will be :

• $5000 USD grants (payable in USD, BTC, ETH)
• equivalent to 1 month of full-time work, if you would rather work part time, this can be spread out as makes sense (just say what you are doing in your proposal or dev diary)

This might be a thorny issue - but "how many hours are in a solarpunk work week?" Is this the right way to be looking at this? Would a better way to be to to look at how much an hourly rate for grant-writers? How have other people who have been working on #grants been thinking about this?

The reason that I am asking this is that this will indicate how many grant-hours there are available to split out amongst the grant teams as stuff comes up.

I wonder if this has not come up before as most other grants have been distributed to individuals (except perhaps ssb-loomio) so people have been in the subjective position to be able to value their own time...
