# Potential ideas for CZI funding

* Developing infrastructure to use GitHub as platform to collect issues (integrating with/replacing Bugzilla)
* Building better CI/CD infrastructure integrated with GitHub
* Contributor tutorials (building on those developed for useR! 2021)
    * creating material/videos
* Developer sprints
    * similar to those run by Data Umbrella https://www.dataumbrella.org/open-source/sprints
* Build on ideas in bugRzilla package (https://github.com/llrs/bugRzilla)
    * tools to help contributors help triage bugs and find things to work on
* Support for CRAN maintainers
    * CRAN pre-check for first submissions (https://github.com/forwards/tasks/issues/2)
    * Better documentation of policies - checklist of common issues
* Rethinking CRAN task views
    * Getting https://github.com/cran-task-views up and running, with suitable automation of processes
* More support for R Journal?
    * Maybe harder to argue in scope 
* Testing pre-releases
    * write how-to?
    * set up virtual machines for people to test on?
* Fellowship program a bit like Mozilla fellowships?
