To add to this. @borovan and I are working out an idea for a grant/bounty program. It is very early stages, but there are lots of open source tools that could benefit IC developers that we would like to see created.
We only decided to do this last night so give us some time to figure out how it’ll work.
Our goal is to help the IC fulfil its potential. Yes we may have kicked up a huge fuss lately and some things were done that definitely could have been handled better. I have no regrets however, as the IC is stronger as a result and Dfinity is on the case.
