What

I will maintain Revuo Monero (https://www.revuo-xmr.com/) for the next 3 months (2025 Q1): January, February and March. There is a chance I may skip one week to tend to real life issues, in such case, next issue will just cover 2 weeks instead of the usual 1.

Tasks:

• Daily/weekly: search, curate, structure and publish new issues.
• As Needed: make sure the website is live and working as expected (server maintenance, billing, etc.)
• As Needed: cover code enhancements/fixes expenses, sysadmin consultations and additional Revuo tools/services for the community.

Who

rottenwheel, I joined the Monero community some time in 2017 by jumping into IRC, attending some Workgroup meetings, volunteering at the Monero village at DEFCON 28 in 2019 (https://redlib.zaggy.nl/r/Monero/comments/cqegma/monero_village_defcon_2019_report/), participating in community events and being involved with other community-driven, smaller projects.

As a proof of work for this specific proposal, I have, since January 2022 until now, written more than two hundred (200) weekly issues of the Revuo Monero newsletter, the first five (5) first published and hosted at LocalMonero and the rest, 200++, were published in current Revuo's self-hosted website. About 24-25 of them had their maintenance and editorial work funded through the CCS, for 2024 Q3 and Q4; now looking to get funding secured for 2025 Q1 with this proposal. Beyond that, I have completed and deployed the following enhancements:

Up to this point, all efforts behind Revuo Monero's comeback after Diego "rehrar" Salazar was let go and Revuo Monero's publication was paused for a few months, include but are not limited to:

• Light/dark theme with a toggle button (mostly in CSS/HTML, minimizing the reliance in JavaScript as much as possible; site loads everything just fine in Tor browser with strict security mode on.)
• Support and Source Code sections added.
• RSS and Support icons.
• Google fonts removed.
• Twitter profile set up and posting new issues every week automatically, which often get reposted via @monero main account. Twitter: https://nitter.poast.org/revuoxmr
• Addition of RM's group chats and social media profile links at the bottom of hamburger menu. Nostr, X, XMPP, Matrix, SimpleX and IRC.

New: Revuo Calc. See: https://calc.revuo-xmr.com/ // Source code: https://github.com/rottenwheel/moner.ooo/ [WIP] Moneroj.net maintenance and enhancements. Almost ready for relaunch/announcement, under Revuo's umbrella, as Revuo Moneroj.

Proposal

I will publish weekly issues (4 per month, average) at a rate of $120 / issue. Using MA10 - Moving Average 10 (10 days) of ~$191 / XMR at the time of writing this proposal, this makes for 8 XMR (~7.5392++…) [(120 * 4) * 3 = $1440) to be split in three (3) monthly milestones. Rounding ~7.5392++… XMR to 8 XMR even to cover for price votatility between Work In Progress phase and progressive milestone(s) payouts.
