Identify projects that would increase the variety and quantity of bounties available

As a user I would like to have a variety of bounties so that I need not have a fixed skill set to take up a bounty. In order to achieve this we should identify prospective projects and get them on board.

Any ideas on how to facilitate this?

While the following might not increase variety, it could help with quantity (so I thought to comment here rather than post as separate idea): One approach would be to identify projects that recently raised funding for public blockchains (or permission-ones that use open-source) where we can assume they will have a higher likelihood for the need to BUIDL out their technology and hire developers. 1) Identify projects with recent raises and (and older projects) with ongoing dev and their Github pages 2) potentially comment directly on their repos to invite them to post as a bounty/task on Gitcoin or 3) reach out to the teams (either the bounty hunter reaches out, or someone from Gitcoin, or both?) and encourage them to post their existing job searches on Gitcoin as specific tasks.

@hatgit Changed the title to include the quantity as well.

@usmanmuhd would you describe a little more about user? who is the user?

if you could give a specific example, that would be great helpful.

The user would be the bounty hunter. Example:

I happened to talk to a new user on slack who wanted to contribute to a nodejs issue. There was no open nodejs issue then, because of which he could not use gitcoin.
