Hi there Matthew, is it correct that the work needs to be completed in a week (March 27-31st)?

matthewhall78 commented 7 years ago

In order to meet acceptance criteria, work should be substantially complete prior to mar 31st, but can be completely after that. The definition of "substantially" if left flexible and can be discussed if your proposal is selected.

matthewhall78 commented 7 years ago

I will update the Github page shortly.

Hey Matthew, I just discovered this bc dev exchange on Saturday and am looking to put in a proposal on this project. I've reviewed the proposal requirements and see the sorting criteria lists 200 words for the agile summary. There seems to be no other sections required. This seems very limited - can more sections be included in the proposal or are we limited to what's listed as sorting criteria? Thanks, Shane

matthewhall78 commented 7 years ago

200 word maximum is not a mandatory requirement. If you have additional sections that you would like to add, you may do so but please indicate why you are providing the information and how it relates to the things listed in the scoring criteria section.

matthewhall78 commented 7 years ago
