Did MGRC consider any alternatives to the ZF grants platform?

@Shawn

Decided that, before committing to using it, the MGRC should compare it with other, potentially cheaper and lower maintenance options (e.g. Google Forms combined with Zcash Forum, Github, or other freely available platforms).

@Shawn

Decided to adopt the ZF Grants Platform as part of the MGRC grant application/approval process

@jmsjsph

Shawn, is ZF’s Danika paid for the part-time engagement with MGRC (like you are paid for the part-time engagement with ZF)?

Danika’s primary job is as a operations manager for the Zcash Foundation. Antonie and Danika felt that given her current responsibilities she would have bandwidth to help the MGRC with part-time administrative work. We felt that this is a good short term solution for the current level of MGRC admin needs.

ZF subdomain

The MGRC has secured a separate URL and we may choose to host the grants .io platform under that URL to help differentiate. The question about the ZF sub-domain is still undecided.
