looks like we hold a bit hostage here. initial work was never done as open source initiative so regardless of treausry paying a lot for this work we did not actually receive anything for the money.

well at least i did not find a way how to run this code myself and code that you publis at bountymanager.io keeps loading forever.

maintenance cost seems absolutely outrageous so i guess its best to cut our losses here than continue to pay for something we dont own or are allowed to use.

Our intention with OpenGov is to more or less maintain the self-imposed milestones that were agreed upon on the previously approved referendum. For this referendum, the milestone #2 was supposed to cost 59600€ but it costs 265k$ (250.51€).

Milestone 2 is more expensive than milestone 1 despite being expected to cost a fraction of it. The additional cost of maintenance 49120€ befalls on the previously approved referendum voters so for that reason we as voters will have to take the responsibility to inquire about future operating costs because this was not presented explicitly for milestone 2, we’ll do it more heavily starting now. The remaining 141.28€ of “new features” is something we really cannot justify at the moment specially the UX and UI improvements specially when milestone 2 has not been delivered just yet.

In addition, we hope that in the future new costs and features are presented as separate referenda so that we can decide on them without having them bundled with the expected costs.

This comment will remain as a precedent for the basis of future votes, including referendum 1325 which has not been cast yet.

It would help the decision process in this referendum if the curators actively using this tool provided feedback or publicly vouched for its utility and impact.
