DESIGN - As a funder, I want example bounties that I can copy, so I know I'm scoping my bounty correctly.

User Story

As a funder, I want example bounties that I can copy, so I know I'm scoping my bounty correctly.

Why Is this Needed

Summary:
People don't already read the documentation about what makes a great bounty. By giving them examples we can just copy, they are able to just follow in the foot steps of those bounty hunters

Description

Type:
Feature

Current Behavior

No Examples Listed

Expected Behavior

a DESIGN that shows off 3 Example bounties in each of the following categories:

1. Feature Request
2. Bug Bounty
3. Design Request
4. Security Bounty

This is a good idea... my only question: how do we natively give them our 'bounty templates' on Github (the place where the issue is going to live)?

Somehow in markdown format?

[PixelantDesign]

Linking to good examples might just do the trick.

@vs77bb if we host the examples -> it's easy (but it might be an overkill) but markdown languages are fairly common and easy to derive just looking at the text

Linking to good examples might just do the trick.

@PixelantDesign i'm trying to decide if this is more of a design task or a coding task... probably we need to decide exactly where these example links are going to live? at first i was thinking it should go on the 'before you post a bounty' interstitial, but now i'm thinking the form itself might be a good idea (since most people move past that interstitial). what do you think?

if we host the examples

I like the idea of using live examples instead of just stock examples.. feels more real

Hey,

Just saw this issue on Gitcoin and would love to help out with it. I've been looking at various types of bounty submissions for the last few days, and some of them certainly shine with their content. I've read up on the past discussion, and it seems that the general consensus seems to be towards multiple markdown files with the content (with possible links to example past bounties). I'd be glad to help out with those in terms of actual content generation, markup design, and additional research into what makes a successful bounty.

Other than that, hosting directly on Gitcoin could also be a viable option. Hosting this content in a convenient location like the Help page could easily be done as well (in this case, opting for HTML-formatted content instead of Markdown).

Let me know if that sounds aligned to what you were thinking of.

Thanks,

Anish

Hi @Anish-Agnihotri - just approved you to work on this one! I think you're on the right track with the below.

MARKET Protocol does a phenomenal job with their template, I'd recommend checking out some of their bounties here!

[Anish-Agnihotri]

Hey there! Just wanted to chip in and drop an update (since it's been nearly a day since I was approved to work on this bounty, thanks again too).

I've started work for the bounty over at gitcoin-exemplars. Feel free to check out the progress, provide feedback, or inform me of any concerns if you have input. .

Other than that, I've taken a look at what MARKET Protocol does as well, and it really does look incredible. I'll be sure to take that into consideration, thanks!

[Anish-Agnihotri]

Just finished off a complete section for bug bounties (one of the four required bounties for successful bounty completion). It has one general file regarding what makes a successful bug bounty, and three specific examples (in the form of a traditional, contest, and cooperative project type).

You can take a look at them here:

1. Bug Bounty Exemplars
   • What makes a good bug bounty?
   • Exemplar One
   • Exemplar Two
   • Exemplar Three

Let me know if this is aligned to your scope and what you had in mind. Otherwise, I'd be glad to alter them as you see fit.

In addition, after writing these up, I realized that a madlibs sort of tool where users can select their inputs and the description file is auto generated would be fantastic for this case. After bounty completion, I'd be glad to help make a Gitcoin tool for the toolbox integrating this functionality if there is interest.

@Anish-Agnihotri reviewing now!

[owocki]

@Anish-Agnihotri this seems like a good start -- id love to see the design/feature/security bounty ones filled out!

[Anish-Agnihotri]

@owocki Perfect! That sounds good. I'm looking to get these knocked out in the next two days to three days after I write and review the content.

I'll keep you updated as I complete more.

[Anish-Agnihotri]

Just finished another set of bounty write-ups. Here are the ReadME's for design request bounties:

1. Design Request Bounty Exemplars
   • What makes a good design request bounty?
   • Exemplar One
   • Exemplar Two
   • Exemplar Three

Looking to get the other two sets knocked out tomorrow and finish editing to get them prepped for submission. Let me know if you have any concerns as always.

[Anish-Agnihotri]

Hey there,

I've completed the work now over at gitcoin-exemplars. Feel free to take a look and let me know. For some of these bounties, the live examples were very rudimentary, so I've designed my own appropriate descriptions.

I'd love to make this into an automated Gitcoin tool in the future, but for the meantime, please do let me know if you have any concerns - or, if this appropriately fulfills the bounty (in which case I will submit my work through the platform).

[PixelantDesign]

The templates are great @Anish-Agnihotri ! This would also be great to have on the funder/contributor guides once that is out.

[Anish-Agnihotri]

Perfect! Thanks @PixelantDesign . In that case, I'll submit the bounty as soon as my gas faucet request goes through.

@PixelantDesign do we wanna reuse this ticket for wiring it to guide / should we close this out and create a new one ?
