Catalyst Fund 10 Improvements Task Force Weekly Update
===
## Week Ending Nov 18th

Right now, there is a "[Catalyst Improvements f10 Task Force](https://hackmd.io/@PA-vPATreasury/S1H32eyNs)" convening regularly to make space for surfacing and addressing sensed issues in the PA/vPA ecosystem leading up to the start of Fund 10. This is experimental and broad in scope because we are developing this model, but we are actively addressing:

- Gather feedback and identify priority issues
- Turn feedback and issues into actionable items in a bounty workflow
- Propose changes to Catalyst process based on the identified priority issues

The **[most recent meeting](https://hackmd.io/@PA-vPATreasury/HJlGesdrs)** of the taskforce addressed:
- Discussing and establishing standards for stewarding bounties in dework via a new "Bounty Manager" role.
- Looked at an example of a ["Problem Statement Bounty"](https://app.dework.xyz/catalyst-circle-ca-r/veteran-ca-wg?taskId=f08b203b-ee3a-46ac-89ec-049093a2ccda) and discussed how these statements could be large or small, broken into smaller subtasks when too large, and overall used as a valuable step in "repo-ing" sensed issued as problem statements that could accrue input and background as they iterated toward understanding and possible solution statements.
- The meeting also made space to welcome several new participants and get to know eachother.

The work of the Task Force is coordinated using the Catalyst United [discord](https://discord.gg/TyQvFzZkcn) and [Dework](https://app.dework.xyz/catalyst-circle-ca-r/veteran-ca-wg) (currently using the vPA WG space). The next meeting is scheduled [here](https://hackmd.io/@PA-vPATreasury/Sya-vgcHi).
