# Proposal tracking by maty

**TLDR**: Fund maty to continue tracking all funded [proposals](http://www.proposal.wtf) (46 ETH saved) and writing [newsletters](https://nouns.substack.com/) (over 16k views) for 5.5 ETH/month.

## About me
Active in nouns every day for a year, founding Nouncil and Esports Pod member, Discord mod (rip), NSFW team member... but most of my work has been centered around a weekly newsletter and proposal tracking dashboards I have created in Notion.

## Tracking proposals
**Problem:**  It's hard to follow individual projects after they get funded, the information is scattered. Accountability is important.

**Solution:** 
- I'm following up with builders of all funded projects, providing a way for builders to share all the awesome work they've done
- Saving the data to Notion [proposal.wtf](http://www.proposal.wtf) - 5 interconnected dashboards with all the important info, allows anyone to quickly and easily search for any project, filter and sort them based on various properties or see all projects by a particular builder.

Thanks to these follow-ups, I have contributed to **46 ETH being returned to the DAO** (from 2 proposals with leftover funds).

**Future focus:** 
- Getting cleaner-looking dashboards up on nouns.center (in collaboration with cdt, you can already find the Communities list we made [here](https://nouns.center/groups))
- Working with the Agora team to display relevant information in Agora profiles

## Newsletter 
**Problem:** Information overload, hundreds of funded projects + even more seeking funding. With the dissolution of the official Discord server, this only got worse.
**Solution:** 
- Weekly [newsletter](https://nouns.substack.com/) highlighting the biggest things happening around nouns, showcasing new proposed projects, new on-chain proposals, art, and more. Serves as an information distribution mechanism and as a historical snapshot of the DAO. [*Example*](https://nouns.substack.com/p/raising-from-the-ashes).
- Special posts for Prop House rounds with TLDRs of all proposals (and other functions when needed) everything in one place, easy to read. [*Example*.](https://nouns.substack.com/p/prop-house-special-nouns-launchpad-9da)
    - this helps us more effectively deploy capital via Prop House
- Newsletter data:
    - over 50 posts already (6 a month on average), with **over 16,000 reads** in total!
    - latest posts get around 350-400 readers
    - subscriber count is in a steady uptrend from the start, currently at 430

**Future focus:**
- highlighting the newly emerging communities
- special posts with big proposal updates (highlights of changes from the dashboards)

## Funding
Previously my work has been funded via NSFW (monthly, based on the amount of work, 4.5-5.5 ETH), but since now I am an active member of NSFW, I am seeking funding via on-chain proposal.
I am asking for **5.5 ETH a month** for 7 months:
- 1 month retro for October (7 newsletter posts, maintaining the dashboard and adding a new one - Communities/Groups)
- 6 months going forward, paid via Sablier stream (until the end of April)
- A total of 38.5 ETH

Outcome: EXECUTED
