jeffro256¹ has submitted their first CCS proposal² to work part-time on Monero development for 3 months:

I propose to spend 30 hours a week for 3 months working on Monero Core and the Monero GUI.

Total funding proposed: 70 XMR (USD 30/hr * 30 hrs/week * 12 weeks).

ETA: ~3 months.

Tasks overview

• Work with @selsta to protect GUI users in ‘simple mode’ by implementing a trusted community node system
• Create a RPC SSL connection integrity indicator for the CLI and GUI wallets
• Allow GUI users more fine-grained control of their SSL connections
• Create a more thorough UI for warning users of GUI mode of high fees
• Draft a formal Levin/Cryptonote protocol specification
• Revamp Doxygen documentation
• Do other general documentation of the codebase
• Transition legacy OpenSSL code to comply with OpenSSL 3.0 (already started)
• Explore using faster & smaller EC OpenSSL certificates in place of traditional RSA certificates
• Continue to remove dead code, and simplify codebase, especially the (epee module)
• Misc developing / reviews
