## How would you summarize your proposal, in one sentence?

A funding request to finish building and launching Ruby Ecosystem - a web application that collects metrics from Bundler and rubygems.org and graphs them.

## Who are you, and how are you related to the project?

Sid Krishnan, project developer. I am helping André Arko, project creator, develop it.

## What are your preferred pronouns? (e.g. she/her, they/them, ze/zir)

he/him

## What is your home timezone?

UTC-4/UTC-5 (depending on Daylight savings)

## What is your location?

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

## Do you consider yourself an underrepresented minority in tech?

No

## How much funding are you requesting?

$12,000

## What do you hope to accomplish with this funding?

Build out v1.0 of the project and launch Ruby Ecosystem for community use.

## What is your expected timeline for that work, broken down across the 12 weeks you will have funding?

Assuming about a day's worth of work per week:

Weeks 1-2: Break design down into stories and estimate. Get started on main outline of web app with a focus on fleshing out the overall architecture.

Weeks 3-4: Implement graph component. Graph should be able to retrieve data for a few different zoom levels (2 weeks, 3 months, 1 year)

Weeks 5-6: Implement custom range feature for graph. Instantiate graph component for all the things we want to graph (Ruby, Bundler, CI etc)

Weeks 7-8: Style the app.

Weeks 9-10: Look into adding data for popular community gems like Rails

Weeks 11-12: Finalize deploy setup and do any cleanup tasks needed

## How will this work improve the Ruby community?

Apart from being interesting to look at, metrics from Bundler and rubygems.org graphed out have the potential to help:

* Gem authors understand what versions of Ruby they should consider supporting
* Developers make decisions on if and when they should upgrade their Ruby version
* The Ruby community as a whole understand better how it is evolving and changing

## Do you receive any other funding for work on this project?

No

## Do you have any existing OSS work you would like to mention or show the selection committee?

No, this will be my first OSS project.
