[VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?
Unlike most proposals who simply aim for the max amount in that Category, we are providing a reasonable estimate for the effort we will put in.
The value in having a more fluid usability within Ideascale and to bring the process of gathering favourites and rating+sharing them to your friends and peers will result in surfacing quality of the voted+approved proposals and greater community coheason.
