@dcwalk Here it references the same process as the SSBC grant distribution: https://github.com/benhylau/ssbc-grants-scuttlemesh#funds-distribution

Once your Take Request gets two +1's from other collaborators on the list, @benhylau will send you the requested amount to the address and merge your Pull Request.

For example: https://github.com/benhylau/ssbc-grants-scuttlemesh/pull/23#issuecomment-449208203

Slight difference here being the CAD instead of ETHdistribution, so I think the receiver should merge once they receive a cheque. In my case, I won't write myself a cheque since the money is already in my personal account. So once I get two +1's I will just merge it.

Also the pattern of having a repo for the ssbc grants v. having this all in one take file is something I'm not sure about.

While doing SSBC grant's tracking, the cross-referencing of issues and PRs also caused a lot of confusion. Issues are tracked here already, so I hope we start with this and can move tracking sheet later on if needed, as I said here: https://github.com/tomeshnet/p2p-internet-workshop/pull/72#issuecomment-447604008
