Hi - Yes. Understood, but I’m saying “it’s not up to me”. My idea is to cover an area of functionality- mostly already covered by outside vendor solutions - but do it as a Fineract solution that demonstrates important functionality that Fineract covers well…and so I ask, what do you think that should be? It would be an MVP that the student /you / others help guide. The idea is to encourage creativity, have open scheme proposals, then choose the student(s) with the best concept & skillset.
This isn’t a deterministic model or detailed tickets I’m suggesting. It’s a POC where they and us have to first design it and then… they learn something, we all probably learn , we are better off for having tried it.
