Hey folks, Applicants for the current round of Individual Engagement Grants (IEG) have submitted many proposals that involve new tools, bot tasks, and other technical elements. I’ve provided the list of these proposals and brief descriptions below.
Your feedback in these technical proposals is requested! If one of these ideas interests you, consider reading it over, and feel free to endorse, express concerns, make suggestions, and ask questions. Your input and expertise will help the applicants develop better proposals, and support the IEG Committee during their evaluation. Comments are requested until October 19th.
