Status of Deliverables

1: Completed Deliverables

These deliverables are considered to be complete. Many of the actions around them are still active and ready for further development, refinement and iterations, as specified in Section 2 below.

2: Ongoing/In Progress Deliverables

Note than some of these are ongoing procedures needed for DisCO's development, regardless of GftW. Their continuation however is predicated on further funding so the team can dedicate themselves to their development and, in certain cases, completion.

3: Deliverables in preparatory stage, pending GftW resolution

Many of these deliverables were predicated on an open and transparent collaboration with Geeks Without Bounds. Since their disenfranchisement from the project and our tech team's dissasociation from GWOB, these deliverables are currently on hold and are now dependent on GftW Rescope proposal acceptance.

DisCO DECK

  • Re-scoping of DisCO DECK technical requirements
    • Tech assessment and project timeline
    • Moderated online hackcamps, consultations and documentation for future development
    • Mock ups for DisCO DECK interface and UX by the DisCO design team
    • Preliminary work with Bonfire coders (Zo.team) and additional TBD devs
    • In-person team meeting and hackcamp in September/October 2021 to build base infrastructure and team for DisCO DECK Development

4: Deliverables postponed for further funding rounds

As above, many of these deliverables have become no viable due to the lack of communication, involvement and support with our prior tech partner, Geeks Without Bounds and the lack of any code for the DisCO DECK.

DisCO DECK

Beyond the technical reassessment and project scoping we propose for the DisCO DECK in the short term (jump [here] for more details), these would the outputs for the next cycle of development, planned for 2022.
