Project summary

Austin said I should post this now instead of January, so I'm doing that even though I don't really know what my plan is. I could see myself in a number of different roles, such as continuing the Market Manipulation Podcast, writing articles/newsletters for Manifold, doing other kinds of targeted community outreach, and maybe even writing code for Manifold. But this is just a five-minute brainstorm.

The reason for January is that I'm quite busy at the moment, primarily with applying for college (yes, I'm a high school senior), and don't really have the bandwidth for a big project - but I probably will in January.

What are this project's goals and how will you achieve them?

TBD

How will this funding be used?

TBD

Who is on your team and what's your track record on similar projects?

TBD. I've been the creator and cohost of the Market Manipulation Podcast, which was cited as one of the examples of great community projects! I've also run the Market Correction Mana Grants, created "The Market", served on the Whales v. Minnows resolution council, done a lot of Manifold outreach at Proof School (where I've also planned several in-person events), and generally been very active on Manifold.

For what it's worth, Austin has stated that Manifold is willing to retroactively fund some of my past projects, so if you invest, you'll probably get something back. [EDIT: Apparently this retroactive funding is not within the purview of the Manifold Community Fund, but it's still an indicator of my track record as assessed by Austin.]

What are the most likely causes and outcomes if this project fails? (premortem)

TBD

What other funding are you or your project getting?

TBD. Probably none

I think Conflux has contributed a lot of value to Manifold in the past so I am generally bullish on his chances of doing so again once he figures out how to!

Also investing a small amount as a show of support for Conflux, though I'd definitely love to see more details eventually :P

To clarify, the Manifold Community Fund payout criteria will be for impact realized between checkpoints, so exclusive of past "impact". The first payout will assess impact from Nov 15-Dec 15 -- so previous eg views of MMP would be excluded, but if an old MMP episode went viral on Dec 1st, then that would count for impact.

Oh, thanks for the clarification! I'll revise accordingly.
