+# What
+
+I will maintain Revuo Monero (https://www.revuo-xmr.com/) for the next 3 months (2024 Q4): October, November and December. There is a chance I may skip one week to tend to real life issues, in such case, next issue will just cover 2 weeks instead of the usual 1.
+
+Tasks:
+
+- Daily/weekly: search, curate, structure and publish new issues.
+- As Needed: outreach (engage with the community on Matrix, XMPP, e-mails, social media, Workgroup channels).
+- As Needed: make sure the website is live and working as expected (server maintenance, billing, etc.)
+- As Needed: cover code enhancements/fixes expenses, sysadmin consultations and additional Revuo tools/services for the community. 
+
+# Who
+
+rottenwheel, I joined the Monero community some time in 2017 by jumping into IRC, attending some Workgroup meetings, volunteering at the Monero village at DEFCON 28 in 2019 (https://redlib.zaggy.nl/r/Monero/comments/cqegma/monero_village_defcon_2019_report/), participating in community events and being involved with other community-driven, smaller projects.
+
+As a proof of work for this specific proposal, I have, since January 2022 until now, written almost 200 issues, 195 of which were published in current Revuo's self-hosted website. That does not take into account the following enhancements.
+
+Up to this point, all efforts behind Revuo Monero's comeback after Diego "rehrar" Salazar was let go and Revuo Monero's publication was paused for a few months, include but are not limited to:
+
+- Light/dark theme with a toggle button (mostly in CSS/HTML, minimizing the reliance in JavaScript as much as possible; site loads everything just fine in Tor browser with strict security mode on.)
+- Support and Source Code sections added.
+- RSS and Support icons.
+- Google fonts removed.
+- Twitter and Nostr profiles set up and posting new issues every week automatically. Twitter: https://nitter.poast.org/revuoxmr; Nostr: https://primal.net/p/npub1tn8spk9zhxrctg2qym3gj8r7eq2wk6z3phrl8304wc54vt9qam4qvzw6jx
+
+**New**: Revuo Calc, a moner.ooo fork that had its original code shrunk by half (# of total lines), improved upon and it offers 2 versions, adjusted according visitor's browser settings: JavaScript-free front and JavaScript-friendly front; think of Tor users and clearnet users. The cherry on top? Its own subdomain hidden service as well. See: https://calc.revuo-xmr.com/ // Source code: https://github.com/rottenwheel/moner.ooo/ 
+
+# Proposal
+
+I will publish weekly issues (4 per month) at a rate of $120 / issue. Using MA10 - Moving Average 10 (10 days) of ~$170 / XMR at the time of writing this proposal, this makes for **8.5 XMR** (~8.47058++...) [(120 * 4) * 3 = $1440) to be split in three (3) monthly milestones. Rounding ~8.47058++... XMR to 8.5 XMR to cover for price votatility between Work In Progress phase and progressive milestone(s) payouts.
