1. Alignment with our strategic goals (!)
2. Value to the community
3. Return on investment

Wiki update: Project definition, timeline & documentation
Keep discussing & developing the project / Wednesday feedback: Don’t let it fall through, let the community help when you’re stuck, and if for whatever reason you need to drop off, make sure the project handed onwards instead of abandoned
We’ll figure this out case by case, but we’re thinking of giving half the money upfront, where necessary, and then figuring out the rest with receipts. (in review)
