I know some people dispute the value of this proposal, but I do think gamification matters. It would be easier to justify if we had far more users.
I do think that proposals should give updates on how the money is being spent so that the community can make judgements on their voting, e.g. how many developers, what hardware.
I totally agree!
If we have something working, we either move forward from it or keep it as it is. It would be disappointing to let this go.
Regarding the money part, yeah that should be shared and clarified.
