I've been reconsidering priorities and I'd like to submit a slight change of plans:
Worker:
- I'm not going to wait until the worker is fully funded to release the code. Instead, that's where I'd like to shift my immediate focus -- documenting & releasing the source. To set it free, allow it to be reused, and help others get involved.
- Besides that, the next tasks remain: internationalization, page updates, and as always.. more DEX data.
- No change in my commitment to keep building/improving cryptofresh while my worker is active.
- No immediate plans to launch another worker after this one expires (May 31), but I will continue to support cryptofresh.
Witness:
- I rescind my witness resignation and will resume publishing feeds.
- I also intend to run for a Steem witness position.
I'm glad I held off on the "blockchain social network" aspect of this worker proposal and focused on DEX-specific features! However that aspect is still something I'm very passionate about, and that's why I'm excited about Steem's approach. That being said, I still believe BitShares could benefit greatly from a blockchain-based trollbox and announcement channel (and I'd be happy to work with
@svk to add it to the wallet if he has time & the stakeholders still consider it a priority). I'm just going to scrap the threaded discussion and tipping features for now.
Next week I will be taking a break from cryptofresh duties to catch my breath and get witnesses/servers set up properly. Over the following 1-2 weeks I will document & prepare the code for release, and then switch back to completing features. After May 31 I'll make sure cryptofresh continues to run smoothly and be a useful resource. There's still a *lot* more I'd like to do with cryptofresh but need to let the dust settle.
Feedback/questions welcome!
