SNeedlewoods submits CCS proposal for 1 month of part-time Monero dev work

SNeedlewoods¹ has submitted their first CCS proposal² to work part-time on Monero development for 1 month:

For this proposal the focus of work will be on the new wallet API [..] The work is already ongoing since May 2024 [..] This is a “pilot” proposal to see how things work out. [..] Hopefully I will become a long term contributor for general development.

Funding proposed: 2.15 XMR (10-15 hours/week).

ETA: 1 month.

Tasks overview

• [WIP] add functions to wallet API³
• Deprecate wallet2 and replace it with the Seraphis lib (Step 2: CLI and RPC wallets)⁴
• Add unit_tests for the wallet API, or try to resurrect libwallet_api_tests

SNeedlewoods started contributing to Monero core - specifically to wallet related stuff - earlier this year⁵.

This is an ongoing story and the report will be updated when new information is available.

Update: immediately overfunded (18.64 XMR in 3 contributions) after reaching the funding stage⁶.
